That's not been my experience but I only control a handful of admin accounts in two tenants, accessed from the same region.  I'm actually in the process of trying to put my active sync server in standby mode at this very moment and I cannot find an account that can make an MSOnline connection to be able to get the wizard to authenticate and demote it.  I've upgraded the standby server and I'd be happy to make it active.
