[Introduction]
To help organizations manage SharePoint storage more flexibly and avoid over-provisioning, Microsoft is introducing a pay-as-you-go, consumption-based billing model for SharePoint storage overages. This option allows you to pay only for the additional storage you actually use, rather than pre-purchasing extra capacity. The experience integrates with Microsoft 365 Archive and helps align storage costs with real usage.
This change is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 506743.
[When this will happen:]
Public Preview (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in early June 2026 and expect to complete by mid-June 2026.
General Availability (WW): We expect to begin rolling out in September 2026 and to complete rolling by end of October 2026.
