    The error interaction_required: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity means the Microsoft Entra tenant associated with the account has been marked inactive and blocked. This happens when a tenant has not been used for an extended period as part of Microsoft’s tenant lifecycle and cost‑reduction policies.

    Key points from the lifecycle policy:

    • When a tenant becomes inactive, sign-ins are blocked and this exact error (AADSTS5000225) is expected.
    • Administrators can request reactivation only within 20 days of the tenant entering the inactive (blocked) state.
    • If the tenant remains in this inactive state for more than 20 days, it is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

    Actions depend on the role and timing:

    1. If acting as an administrator and the tenant has been blocked less than 20 days:
      • Contact Microsoft using the global support phone numbers to request tenant reactivation (see “global support phone numbers” in the referenced article).
      • Do not open multiple support cases for the same issue; wait for the decision on the existing case.
    2. If the tenant has been blocked more than 20 days:
      • The tenant is deleted and cannot be restored.
      • Review Microsoft’s data protection policies for details on data handling and deletion.
    3. If acting as an app owner/developer targeting this tenant:
      • Minimize authentication requests to the blocked tenant until it is reactivated.
      • Do not submit multiple assistance requests; wait for Microsoft’s response.

    If access to Azure Portal is needed and the tenant is still recoverable, sign-in attempts can be made directly against the tenant using its tenant ID or tenant name in the URL, for example:

    • https://portal.azure.com/<TenantId>
    • https://portal.azure.com/<yourTenantName>.onmicrosoft.com

    If the tenant is already beyond the 20‑day inactive window and deleted, a new tenant must be created to continue using Microsoft Entra ID and Azure services.
