is that arbitrary is (usually|of a decision) based on individual discretion or judgment; not based on any objective distinction, perhaps even made at random while discretionary is available at one's discretion; able to be used as one chooses; left to or regulated by one's own discretion or judgment.

Explanation:
Discretionary power:
- It refers to the authority that allows an administrative agency or official to exercise some discretion in selecting the most sensible course of action among competing options that complies with both public and private interests.
- For instance, the police may opt to impose a lesser or larger restriction on freedom or decide not to intervene if a situation is deemed to be particularly harmful to public order or not so dangerous.
Arbitrary powers:
- When power is used arbitrarily, it is when it is used beyond what has been authorised or when it is used for something else entirely.
OR
- The phrase "arbitrary" refers to something that is decided on whim or by judgement rather than following a set of rules or particular logic.
- A decision to visit the beach solely out of desire is an example of an arbitrary choice.
