Hello Dipak Sampat Pansare,

The error you received (AADSTS5000225) means your tenant has been marked as inactive. When a tenant is inactive for a long time, Microsoft applies a login block. If the block lasts more than 20 days, the tenant may be permanently deleted.

Tenant inaccessible due to inactivity

If the block has been in place for less than 20 days, we may be able to restore access by unblocking it. Please provide the following details via private message:

Tenant ID

Email address used to sign in

Correlation ID from the login failure

Timestamp of the failure

Business impact and reason for restoring the tenant

Note: If this is a test or non-critical tenant, you can create a new one: Quickstart: Create a new tenant in Microsoft Entra ID

The error message you are encountering, AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity, indicates that your Azure tenant has been made inaccessible due to a lack of activity. To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:

Reactivate Your Tenant: If you need to access your tenant, the administrator can request reactivation within 20 days of the tenant entering an inactive state. You can contact Microsoft support for assistance with reactivation.
Wait for Deletion: If you do not plan to reactivate your tenant, be aware that it will be deleted after 20 days of being inactive, and it will not be recoverable.
Minimize Authentication Requests: If you are an application owner or developer, minimize the number of authentication requests sent to the deactivated tenant until it is reactivated.

Make sure to check your Azure account and follow the appropriate steps based on your needs. If you require further assistance, consider reaching out to Microsoft support directly.
