Pending Oct 1 Direct Bill requirement changes.

Has anyone figured out a way to move Azure Plan subscriptions from Direct CSP to Indirect CSP without incurring customer downtime?

Microsofts stance on this is absurd.  Move and rebuild resources in a new Azure Plan subscription because technically Microsoft cannot reassign billing and they cornered all their new as of last year direct bill partners into tripling their revenue in 5 months with their May 2025 announcement. (300k to 1M)  My clients have resources deployed that are supported but discontinued for new deployments and have global resources that cannot be subscription moved.  None of this work was planned in their development budgets.  I'm supposed to give them an extended, unplanned downtime so that their subscriptions are not locked due to these new Direct bill requirements.

Every part of this move requires downtime in operations that was not requested by my customers.  They will not look at the business continuity outage Microsoft is causing them favorably.

Has anyone made any headway towards a reasonable solution to the problem.

Thanks
