Dynamics 365 and Power Platform– Information about storage validation for Dataverse-only tenants
🚨 The Signal: Microsoft will enforce Dataverse storage limits for Power Platform and Dynamics 365 (Dataverse-only tenants) starting November 2026. Exceeding limits will block environment operations and eventually disable sandbox environments, impacting data availability and business continuity.
The Impact
Admins and security teams are affected by potential data unavailability and service disruption if Dataverse storage limits are exceeded, posing a business continuity risk.
- Admins: Risk of environment creation/restore blocks due to storage overage.
- Admins: Sandbox environments may become inaccessible if storage limits are not addressed.
- Security Teams: Potential for data unavailability impacting incident response and recovery.
- Business Users: Loss of access to sandbox environments if storage limits are breached.
The Action
- Review current Dataverse storage consumption via Power Platform admin center: Power Platform admin center > Resources > Capacity > Dataverse.
- Identify and remove unneeded data from Dataverse environments to reduce storage footprint.
- Plan for acquiring additional Dataverse capacity licenses if current usage exceeds entitlements.
- Evaluate enabling pay-as-you-go billing for sandbox environments to prevent disablement.
- Communicate storage policies and monitoring responsibilities to relevant Power Platform administrators.
