Hello,
I am urgently asking for help, because our nonprofit organization is at risk of permanently losing its Microsoft 365 tenant, and I have not been able to reach a human at Microsoft Support.
The problem:
All sign-ins to our tenant fail with AADSTS5000225: "This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity". According to the documentation, a blocked tenant is permanently deleted after 20 days. We do not know when the block started, so the deadline may be very close.
The tenant is still needed and will be actively used going forward. We still have valid credentials and MFA for a Global Admin account, so we only need the tenant to be unblocked.
What I have tried so far:
What I need:
Could a moderator please escalate this case to the team responsible for tenant reactivation (Microsoft Entra / tenant lifecycle) before the tenant is deleted? All details (tenant ID, admin accounts, trace IDs, contact information) are included in support request 2609291420002231.
It is quite frustrating that a nonprofit organization has no practical way to reach a human before its tenant is irreversibly deleted. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Update: Unfortunately, it seems the tenant has now been deleted. Since this morning, the tenant lookup returns AADSTS90002 "Tenant not found". Yesterday it still existed.
Our support request (2609291420002231) was opened on 2026-09-29, before the deletion, but no one has acted on it so far. We only received automated replies.
Could a Microsoft moderator please escalate our support request to the responsible team, so they can check whether the tenant can still be restored?
All details are in the support request. Thank you very much for any help.
