Microsoft Outlook Storage Message - reducing from 15GB to 5GB

Hi, starting today a pink bar at the top of my outlook page stating 'From February 1st, you'll need more storage to send or receive emails.' then provides 2 links to 'Manage Storage' & 'Get More Storage'. There is a second window bottom left hand side stating in red font 'Microsoft Storage' '14.6GB used of 5GB (292%)' 'Get More Storage'. What is going on? I've had this account for 10 + years.

    I used AdBlocker to block all the individual elements in the pink ribbon. It disappeared – and reappeared at the bottom of my folder column. So I had AdBlocker block all those elements too. It all disappeared again. Wonder if any of it will come back? Maybe if they change the colour from pink to green?

    Apparently they are making it so the email "attachments" shares your Onedrive space, which is only 5GB, but the funny thing is the wording in Chinese when you click on manage your storage, they even stated that the 15GB is what you got for emails "INCLUDING ALL EMAIL FOLDERS AND ATTACHEMENTS"

    conflict much? too greedy to change the description even, I hope the ABK deal fails. Sony was right, they are gonna go full monopoly on our behind.
