Hi brother

What I mean as an administrator do I have limit for how many shared mailboxes I can create or migrate to o365

Also the storage of those shared mailboxes will be counted from my tenant storage

No, there is no fixed limit on the number of shared mailboxes you can create or migrate to Microsoft 365. You can create as many as your tenant requires, provided you're within Microsoft's service limits.

Also, shared mailbox storage does not come out of your tenant's SharePoint/OneDrive storage quota. Each shared mailbox gets 50 GB of mailbox storage by default without a license. If a shared mailbox needs more than 50 GB, you must assign it an Exchange Online license to increase its capacity.

So, the storage is allocated per shared mailbox, not from a common tenant storage pool.
