Every goddamn year or two, my butthurt vassals will rebel and try to get more council power. It's a huge drain on my manpower and resources and I can never get it to stop. Help?
How to prevent a council rebellion every other year?

You have to become an anarcho-syndicalist commune before the ink's even dry on Magna Carta because apparently monarchy wasn't quite so tolerated as all of history had led us to believe.

Enable Council - War Declaration and put a couple of the strongest vassals on your council. They won't be able to join factions, and even throwing one or two in positions like Chancellor or Chaplain will be the difference between whether the faction is strong enough to rebel.
Alternatively, marry one of your children/siblings to one of their children/siblings (NOT THE HEIR), and you'll have a non-aggression pact with them. They won't be able to join factions then either.
Or just crush them when they revolt and let them spend the next 20-30 years in jail. Poof, instant realm peace.

Have a large well-upgraded demesne compared to your individual vassals, 9+ for kings, and 12+ preferably for emperors.
Land family members only, and go elective, marry most of your children inside the realm for NAPs. (yay incest)
You don't need to give the council any power at all, if you don't want to.
I'm currently running a relaxed Passau -> Germania game, and have had my council abolished all game.
I've faced a total of 1 revolt the entire game, and that was when I decided to end a crusade for Aquitaine by chain assaulting holdings.
