Hey Guys,
can someone tell me what happens when e.g. I have 100 licenses in my tenant and currently a sharepoint online storage limit of 2TB and I remove these licenses?
Do I loose 1TB of storage limit and my data if my data is also at 2TB stored?
If the limit persists, can it be used to simply add 1000 licenses to a tenant, increase the sharepoint storage limit and then remove 900 licenses again and keep the higher limit?
Thanks and regards!

That's not going to work...if you remove the license for sure you are not going to have the storage you had no matter if you are storing documents there or not

@Julian12 That wont work, please read the following and you will understand why

@Pontus SjälanderI read through thhis article but I can't find a clear statement that I loose storage when I remove licenses. In general there is not a single statement in the internet which says so.
For example when I create a new Tenant and add 100 Teams Exploratory licenses to it, sharepoint storage will be upgraded by 1TB (100x10GB) and if I won't remove the licenses even after their expiration date, currently I think the tenant will stay at 2TB sharepoint storage.
Unfortunately I have no chance to test this atm..

@Julian12
I've seen several tenants shift in the amount of data available depending on the licenses present in the specific tenant.
However, i'm not certain about the in-grace period before the data storage available will decrease,especially when the storage is used.
If I were you, I would create a support ticket in the specific tenant to get an official answer from MIcrosoft

@Pontus SjälanderI also think this is the best idea, I just created a support ticket and keep this thread updated if there are any new infos for this issue.

@Julian12 have you received an official statement?

@Julian12 no problem :) I was just curious what you learned.
Did they also explain what happens to the SharePoint Online storage available? To my knowledge, although users are in "grace period" and continue to have access to their services, the extra SharePoint storage received through e.g. Office 365 E1 user-licenses, might get reduced. Have you any experience with that?
