Microsoft Clamps Down on Auto-Expanding Archive Mailboxes
In a surprise development, Microsoft reversed course for Exchange Online auto-expanding archives and imposed a 1TB limit. The promise of a bottomless archive that continually expanded to cope with user data is removed. Although it’s reasonable for Microsoft to restrict the consumption of resources, suddenly implementing a limit is not, especially when you don’t communicate with customers.

TonyRedmond So you get a maximum of 1.1TB (primary + archive). I think this is pretty reasonable, have you ever seen anyone even approaching this Tony?
CloudHal Several people have been in contact with me to say that they have archives larger than 1 TB. The largest was 1.7 TB. That's a lot of email.
