Sharepoint Online storage limit decreasing when license is removed
Hey Guys, can someone tell me what happens when e.g. I have 100 licenses in my tenant and currently a sharepoint online storage limit of 2TB and I remove these licenses? Do I loose 1TB of storage l...
Just out of curiousity, do you know this from your experience or just logic thinking?
I can't imageine that MS removes 1TB of sharepoint storage with highly confidential documents stored just for fun after I remove 100 licenses similar the reason why I need to remove these even if it is only for a few days or a few months.

I've seen several tenants shift in the amount of data available depending on the licenses present in the specific tenant.
However, i'm not certain about the in-grace period before the data storage available will decrease,especially when the storage is used.
If I were you, I would create a support ticket in the specific tenant to get an official answer from MIcrosoft
Pontus SjälanderI also think this is the best idea, I just created a support ticket and keep this thread updated if there are any new infos for this issue.

Yes, sry, for late response, totally forgot this thread.
A MS supporter told me that there is a grace period of 30 days after removal of a sharepoitn storage relevant license for saving files for admins and another 30 days in which MS support can recover files. After 60 days files will be deleted which over consume the storage but I can not sy in which order.
