Additional Microsoft Entra services and features related to identity, access, and network security
AADSTS16000 — personal account not in 'Microsoft Services' tenant, cannot access the Azure support portal at all
I'm locked out of Azure support entirely and looking for a way to reach support.
The error (when signing into the Azure support portal):
interaction_required: AADSTS16000: User account '{EUII Hidden}' from identity provider 'live.com' does not exist in tenant 'Microsoft Services' and cannot access the application 'Microsoft_Azure_SupportPortalExtension' in that tenant. The account needs to be added as an external user in the tenant first.
Background:
- My Microsoft account was removed from its Entra tenant (Tenant ID:
312545fa-193d-4d43-8e8c-67abd8f82201). I did not remove it myself. - The Azure portal fails the same way — I cannot view, manage, or cancel my subscription, yet I'm billed about $82/month.
What I've tried:
- support.microsoft.com — unable to complete filing a new support request.
- Azure Commercial Support phone (+1-800-865-9408) — could not reach a human through the IVR.
- Previous Service Request
7109471075(opened Sept 28 via chat) — appears closed without resolution.
My question: How can I get support when the support portal itself rejects my sign-in? Is there a way to be added as an external user to the 'Microsoft Services' tenant, or is there an alternative channel (email, chat link, etc.) to file a billing support request without going through the portal?
Happy to verify my identity via private message. Thank you.
