Does Azure AD Free lockout accounts?

I configured an AD Free for POC purposes.

I am testing if AD Free lockout accounts by default.

Trying different passwords seem to be possible to lockout an account.

{"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"AADSTS50053: The account is locked, you've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect user ID or password.\r\nTrace ID:
                    f4e5042b-8916-4e69-8130-5bb…

But then I try the right password and actually I get the access token.

Wondering if that is a bug, or ths is because is not and AD Premium.

    Hi @John Leyva , the free subscription supports lockout but you can't configure it. It runs on the default values until you get a premium subscription. Let me know if you have any other questions!
