Hello Luiz Otávio Romualdo Ribeiro de Mattos

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

Correlation ID from the login failure

Timestamp of the failure

Subscription ID

Answer 1

The error message you are encountering, AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity, indicates that your Azure tenant has been made inaccessible due to a lack of activity. This is a measure to help reduce unnecessary costs for configured tenants that are no longer in use.

To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

If you are the tenant administrator, you can request to reactivate your tenant within 20 days of it entering an inactive state. You can reach out to Microsoft support for assistance.
If you do not plan to reactivate the tenant, be aware that it will be deleted after 20 days and cannot be recovered.
If you are an application owner or developer, minimize authentication requests to the deactivated tenant until it is reactivated.

Make sure to follow the appropriate steps based on your role and intentions regarding the tenant.
