Tenant.GetSiteProperties doesn't return storage used anymore
I ran into the same problem a few weeks ago, for another properpty - web count. (Here's the post on this site about it)
It is very strange behavior that StorageUsed is suddenly 0 for Tenant.GetSiteProperties() but it is available for Tenant.GetSitePropertiesFromSharePoint(). On MSDN there is no clear distiction beween the 2 methods. And it is also not very clear based on the naming of the functions. Strange that things change but there is hardly any documentation to be found. It is all trial and error at the moment.
So, now I modified my scripts to use the new GetSitePropertiesFromSharePoint() method. And....it seems like a very poorly implemented method. It times out 9 out of 10 attempts made to fetch site properties. And when it does, the collection is almost 1500 site collections (GetSiteProperties does/did around 300 if I'm not mistaken). Why have an implementation to try and fetch 1500 records and timeout most of the time? Anyone have any better luck with GetSitePropertiesFromSharePoint().
Note: Noticed that PNP libraries have been updated to use GetSitePropertiesFromSharePoint() with pull reuqests stating the GetSitePropertiies() will be deprecated.
