Are OneDrive files included in SharePoint Online storage limit?
- No.
Do files in OneDrive for Business count toward the tenant's total Sharepoint Online storage limit?
- No.
Does that mean that the total storage available in OneDrive for Business for all of the tenant's users is less than 2 TB despite the theoretical 1 TB limit per user?
- No. You have to look 1DRV and SPO as two separated services with different limitations that are not combined.https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description/sharepoint-online-limits

An up to date assessment:
Understanding SharePoint Online Storage
Understanding SharePoint Online storage used to be easy. Then applications like Loop arrived. Other influences like retention and archive can affect storage too. It’s a complicated situation before you throw OneDrive for Business into the mix and consider that Microsoft has removed unlimited OneDrive storage while an increasing number of apps store files in OneDrive. It’s a complicated situation.

- Sarah McMurrayJun 10, 2024Copper ContributorOr - Microsoft resolutely refuses to think about "what is this like for the client" especially when the clients are anything other than other mega-corporates, and steadfastly insists on hiring multiple teams to do overlapping developments while refusing to pay any attention to the history and existing usage of the products and ... hires a lot of lawyers to write licensing agreements that are incomprehensible at best, rather than hiring some clear thinkers to make the product lines clear and simple. On the bright side, the documentation teams have started producing some good documentation over the last few years, so its possible that enough people crying loudly with despair will prompt a similar improvement in the Licensing and Terms of Trade teams. I'm ever hopeful.
