The thing is that there is not "proper" internal API to look up a set of managed properties for a tenant, and the feature is using a "side-effect" API which will not yield all properties, and can time out - as this thread reflects.

Microsoft breaks this API every year - usually on a global scale. 🙂
We use this "side-effect" API as a part of our search driven product, as there is no other way to query the list of managed properties :). Every time it breaks, we have to explain customers why, and teach them to use workarounds 🙂
