Can we allocate pooled storage to SharePoint to increase our space?

I have a question about Microsoft 365 that my team has regarding storage. I'll provide as much information and questions as possible. Microsoft recently made some changes and published information related to storage changes for Microsoft 365 for Education customers:https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/education/products/microsoft-365-storage-optionshttps://cdn-dynmedia-1.microsoft.com/is/content/microsoftcorp/microsoft/final/en-us/microsoft-product-and-services/microsoft-education/downloadables/M365-Education-Storage-FAQ.pdfThis information is helpful, but it doesn't address a core question we have regarding our SharePoint site storage, and I'm hopeful that you can assist us in our understanding.We have 101.12 TB of pooled storage in our Microsoft 365 tenant. Of this, SharePoint sites consume 27.28 TB.In our SharePoint admin center, our Active Sites are using most of the pooled storage allocated to SharePoint. For example, we only have 2.20 TB remaining of our 29.54 allocated.   Note: We are actively using the Archived site feature to archive sites in Azure cold storage; however, at our current consumption trend, we will eventually run out of allocated SharePoint storage, and we cannot archive some active sites used for courses.We have yet to seen or read about any way to change the pooled storage to allocate more to our SharePoint sites. We are concerned about running our SharePoint storage within the next month.

Other things we have done include adjusting versioning limits, removing unwanted content and duplicates, etc.

Thank you!

    Dear Ian Main,

    Good day!!

    I understand your concern and to my knowledge & search, I would like to convey that it’s not possible to allocate the more storage from the pooled storage to the SharePoint Online tenant storage and when I check the admin center settings in the educational account, there is no setting to allocate the more storage from the pooled storage to SharePoint Online tenant.

    In this situation, I would like to recommend you connect with the related development team where they can provide more details on managing the pooled storage.

    So, I request you to create a new service request from the Microsoft 365 admin center, where they will connect with you via preferred contact method and help you further.

    Appreciate your patience and understanding. Have a great day!!

    Best Regards,

    Sophia
