[When this will happen:]
This change will start rolling out in early October and should be completed by late November.
[How this will affect your organization:]
It would not affect any of your existing Tenant Allow Block List entries.
If you already have higher limits, then you will remain unaffected by this change.
If you have a mixture of licenses, we will consider the highest service plan as the service plan for the entire tenant and allocate Tenant Allow Block list limits.
[What you need to do to prepare:]
No changes are required. Your existing Tenant Allow Block List entries will not be affected. Once this change is made, you might be able to create more allow entries and block entries based on your service plan.
