Hi. I joined Microsoft 365 Developer Program few hours ago, used the "Instant Sandbox" option. But then I want to create my own domain so I decided to delete profile, I realize I cant make a new subscription now (it shows something like "This subscription expired on Sep 20, 2023", "0/0 days left"). So my question is: Can I rejoin the program again (I mean make a new subscription in that Microsoft account, because I just joined and deleted today) and if yes, how I can renew that subcription? Thanks!

    Hi Truong,

    Currently, if you delete your profile, you must wait 60 days to request another subscription. That is, you can't bypass the wait by rejoining because the system recognizes you. I'm sorry for the delay but it is a check to prevent abuse. We are aware that this particular wait is painful for scenarios like this.

    We have a feature on our backlog that I am calling "start fresh" that would allow a program member to delete their current tenant and start again, probably a limited number of times over a given amount of elapsed time (such as, once per six months or something like that).

    Watch our blog to get updates on this and other planned features.

    Thanks
