Error message: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity. To learn more about tenant lifecycle policies, see https://aka.ms/TenantLifecycle Trace ID: df5024fa-b920-4f84-bcfb-db821a487301 Correlation ID: f0dc41c1-55f1-41eb-a4fe-ea131d552773 Timestamp: 2025-09-11 16:07:49Z

I wanna know if I can reactivate my tenant or my tenant is permanently deleted from long inactivity.
If I can reactivate my tenant, how can I do it?
If I can't reactivate my tenant because it's deleted, can I move my azure student verification to my other tenant?

Thank you for your help.

Best,

Woohyun Kim

Hello,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A Forum.

The error message you are seeing indicates that your tenant has been inactive for more than 200 days after the billing cycle, which triggered Microsoft’s process to remove inactive tenants. At this stage, the OMS commerce system places a login block AADSTS5000225, twenty days after this block is applied, the tenant is permanently deleted.

Can I reactivate my tenant or is it permanently deleted due to long inactivity? Yes, you can reactivate your tenant if it has been blocked for less than 20 days. After 30 days, the tenant is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

If I can reactivate my tenant, how can I do it?
