Dave Gerrard 11 Reputation points2022-10-07T03:47:22.22+00:00 My E5 Developer tenancy expired on 30 Sept suddenly. No warning. Even got a recurring subscription notification back in July that the expiry had been extended to 27th Nov 2022. That tenancy is my primary so has been renewed quite a few times. Just annoying that it was all so sudden.
Congratulations!
Your Microsoft 365 trial developer subscription has been renewed. Your new expiration date is 11/27/2022 (UTC).I've been trying since 30th Sept to sign up for a new E5 dev tenancy but keep getting the same error.

Michel Zehnder 21 Reputation points2022-10-12T11:54:49.957+00:00 Similar issue here. We have multiple tenants that expired on us, despite active developer usage. Microsoft has effed something up royaly here...

2022-10-12T23:17:25.797+00:00 I noted that the tenancies that suddenly expired had references to the E3 Developer license that has not been around for a couple of years. Maybe MS is retiring old architecture. The free tenancy setup page is definitely different with the new sandbox options.
Unfortunately, I needed email on one of the tenancies so have had to cough up for a couple of paid licenses to continue working.
Here's hoping that the delay is due to Microsoft launching something huge in the SharePoint space that is requiring the develop tenancies to be offline. It is the week if Ignite after all. but a little warning would have been appreciated. Got an email this morning from Chris McNulty about introducing Microsoft Syntex.

Admin Admin 1 Reputation point2022-10-13T13:08:56.573+00:00 All of a sudden my development tenant is deactivated on October 3rd.
Microsoft support gives me a lot of solutions, the visual studio platform !!! or buy paid E3 licenses through the tenant for a test environment...
Pay licenses to test!!! . Why ??
Microsoft, do something for the community. Without a test environment in MS365, a specialist will not be able to progress in these projects, training...
Do you think the developer 365 program is not profitable for Microsoft???thanks

Sandbox creation is good! HOWEVER, I'm getting this error message when I tried to logon as that admin account. I even tried it Incognito mode. Anyone have the workaround or solution to the error below?

Console had logged some errors mentioning something about Graphs and stuff. I clicked on the Cog and from preferences I unchecked Microsoft Graph and then it WORKED!

M. A 5 Reputation points2023-07-26T14:10:11.9533333+00:00 I don't know if this is the right solution or it's just luck.
However here's what I did: I tried to setup the sandbox like everyone else, then I got that error, so after searching online I found out that a lots of users had the same issue and the solutions weren't logical at all, so I opened developer tools in Chrome, and I noticed that the website tries to get my profile picture, and because I don't have a profile picture it returns 404 error, so I uploaded a profile picture and it just worked.
Again this might just be pure luck, or right timing, but I just thought to share maybe it could help someone. -

This may solve your issue.
