Says I have hit the Channel Limit But I haven't

Just an update guys - our IT company has been working with MS to no avail. I had thought maybe it had to do with the Planner plans I had associated with the deleted channels that hadn't been deleted so I deleted some and I had a channel become available.   Our IT company created a test channel and it worked but I think it was because there was one channel I deleted more than 21 days ago because that test channel was the only one that could be created (which wasted an available channel...).  So, right now I am sitting at 60 active and 47 deleted.  The good news is 11 of them are sitting at 20 days deleted and the rest (except for that test channel) are at 19 days so we will see if I get some channels tomorrow.  I haven't gotten any further from IT or MS.  They just keep asking for logs and haven't confirmed that my Team is grandfathered to the 100 channel limit (looks more like 107) but it is certainly looking that way.

BTW - deleting Planner plans is a pain...  You have to find the plan from the Hub, click into it, then click on the … then click Plan Settings, then click Delete Plan, then click the box, then click OK.  Leave Plan is right next to Plan Settings and if you accidentally do that, you also leave the Team.  If you do that, then you have hunt down another Team admin to add you back to the Team and make you and Admin again, reconfigure yourself, refollow in your inbox, reconfigure your configure your calendar, etc, etc, etc...
