Azure Error code: AADSTS5000225

Question

I have not logged into Azure for sometime and am now getting Error code: AADSTS5000225 This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. I do not need any of the existing data on the account. I tried to setup a new one but it keeps taking me back to the same error page. I just want to get back in so I can re-familiarize myself with Azure.

Hello @Charlie Burch

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

The error message you encountered indicates that your tenant has been inactive for over 200 days past the billing cycle, triggering Microsoft’s effort to remove inactive tenants. When a tenant remains inactive for this period, the OMS commerce system imposes a login block (AADSTS5000225). Twenty days after the login block is applied, the tenant is permanently deleted.

Tenant inaccessible due to inactivity

If you plan to unblock your inactive tenant, it’s essential that it has been blocked for less than 20 days. After the 20-day period, the tenant is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

If it has been less than 20 days since the block, please provide the following details for further assistance via private message:

• Tenant ID
• Error Code
• Correlation ID from the recent failure
• Timestamp from the recent failure
• Business impact and justification for restoring the tenant, and an explanation of the impact if the tenant cannot be restored.

Note: If it's a test tenant, please re-create a new tenant for testing purposes.

Quickstart: Create a new tenant in Microsoft Entra ID

Do let me know if you have any queries, we are happy to assist you further. Thanks

Thanks,
