Microsoft developer sandbox has expired

Question

Good morning Microsoft community,

I have been using my Microsoft developer account for testing. I recently had a baby and haven't logged in and my account has expired. I received the following message: This subscription has expired on Jan 18, 2024.

I still have accessing to all admin functions and all of my data wont be deleted until March. My question here is if I start using it again and build a new SharePoint page or something, will kick off the renewal again or should I just delete my profile now and start all over again?

Answer 1

With relation to official documentation:

When my subscription is about to expire, can I extend it?

The only way that you can extend your subscription is to do valid developer activity. If you're using your subscription to develop custom solutions, your subscription will expire and will eventually be deleted.
