The announcement regarding self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products??
At Microsoft, we’ve been listening to all of the feedback regarding the rollout of our self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products. To those of you who provided your input, thank you! Based on your feedback, we’ve adjusted our approach to better address the needs of both IT admins and end users within organizations. We’re making the following changes to our plan:
- On November 19th, we will provide IT admins a way to turn off self-service purchasing on a per product basis via PowerShell.
- To provide more time to prepare for this change, we are updating the launch for self-service purchase capabilities for Power Platform products to start with Power BI on January 14th for all commercial cloud customers.
You can find more details about self-service purchase at the Self-service purchase FAQ. Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback. We look forward to a continued partnership to help empower all organizations to achieve more.
Microsoft heard the voice of the community and released a dedicated PowerShell module 'https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/MSCommerce/' to manage Office 365 Self-service Purchase.

If you have decided to turn-off self-service purchase for your organization, then you shall disable it now.
Not to much to add, but I want to track this issue, so I continue to document it here:
