What Happens When Your Office 365 Subscription Expires
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI-powered productivity companion built directly into familiar Microsoft apWhen your Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) subscription lapses, it doesn’t shut down immediately — Microsoft follows a clear, three-stage process to give you time to renew.
1. Grace Period (First 30 Days)
- You can still access all Microsoft 365 apps and data.
- Renewal reminders start showing up in your dashboard and email.
- Admins can renew anytime without data loss or service interruption.
2. Suspended State (31–60 Days)
- Users lose access to services like Outlook, OneDrive, and Teams.
- Data is retained but locked — you can’t edit, send, or upload.
- Admins can still renew and instantly restore full access.
3. Data Deletion Period (After 60 Days)
- Microsoft begins permanent deletion of data across all connected services.
- Emails, files, and settings may be unrecoverable after this stage.
💡 Note: Renewing during the grace or suspension period ensures zero data loss and instant reactivation.
How to Check If Your Office 365 Subscription Has Expired
If you’re unsure of your subscription status, here’s how to confirm it:
- Visit admin.microsoft.com and sign in as an admin.
- Go to Billing → Your Products.

- If it’s expired, click Renew Subscription to restart your plan.
