Hi blacksibekzn , I am experiencing this issue as well for a client, did you have any luck with your support ticket to determine why the history changed ?

We also logged a Service Health Issue on one of the effected Tenants and logged a Microsoft support ticket on another Tenant. I'll feedback soon as i get something. We had one Tenant drop from 70% to 50% in less than 3 weeks.
