Can I determine how many Office 365 groups a user has created?
Apart from harvesting the Audit logs, I'm not aware of any method to list all groups created by a specific person. You can guesstimate the value based on the number of groups he's an owner of, but that's not a 1:1 correspondence.

Here is what Office 365 tech support responded with:
After extensive research, only the Audit log and the group listing would be a way to see how many groups a specific user has created. Groups created by this user will need to be deleted before he/she will be able to create more.
I wasn't able to get a response from the guy about what the "group listing" is that he was referring to, since no listing I've seen shows the creators; only the owners which is not the same thing. For now I will pass on to the LoB that we basically can't tell when an employee is going to max out and to try having people log into OWA with a new account ginned up just for making Office 365 groups until it too gets burned and then just order it deleted and have another one made.
