**For monthly subscriptions**, if you cancel a monthly subscription within the cancellation policy window, it skips the **Expired** status and immediately moves to the **Disabled** status on the date you cancel it. This means that your users immediately lose access to the Microsoft 365 assets, and only admins have access to the data during the Disabled state.

**For volume licensing customers**, the subscription only enters the **Expired** status after all the licenses are removed. If you order fewer than the original number of licenses, the subscription doesn’t enter the **Expired** status. Instead, admins have 90 days to resolve the conflict for any assigned licenses in excess of the purchased quantity. During this 90 day period there’s no service interruption to subscriptions that are assigned on a per user basis. For nonuser based subscriptions, like Office 365 Extra File Storage for SharePoint, a reduction in the license quantity immediately results in reduced storage. For Enterprise volume licensing customers, we recommend placing an Online Reservation to restore service, and then contact your licensing partner to understand why there was a reduction in licenses.
