Capacity Pack Implementation
Without preparation, global admins may face unexpected costs due to lack of awareness of prepaid message bundles, leading to potential overage charges once the prepaid capacity is exhausted.

Monitoring and Reporting Changes
Admins may struggle to effectively monitor and report on message consumption and allocation due to unfamiliarity with new reporting capabilities in PPAC, leading to mismanagement of resources.
