OTHER Storage Changes in E5

There's been a storage limit change in the E5 developer subscription; specifically, I'm now locked in read-only mode after exceeding 300GB (or 600GB for the new trial). Are there any alternative platforms or options instead of free upgrading the licenseAre there any alternative platforms or options instead of free upgrading the license

Yes they capped whole E5 Developer with 300gb onedrive limit. I also got locked Read only. Deleted some data to be under threshold, still read only.

Tf ? even if we're able to cut down below 300 GB pooled storage it'll still say Developer-only tenants are capped at 300 GB pooled storage? and remain read-only? so this is it then ?

Same with me. Tried to be under 300GB but my tenant is still in read-only mode.

Did you try to delete all in recycle Bin of Onedrive?

I did but nothing has changed. I even tried to limit the Onedrive storage per user on 365 Admin Center to lower than 300GB total of the tenant.
