    The error interaction_required: AADSTS5000225: This tenant has been blocked due to inactivity indicates that the Microsoft Entra/Azure tenant associated with the account has been marked inactive and blocked.

    Key points from the tenant lifecycle behavior:

    • When a tenant is considered inactive, sign-ins are blocked and this exact error is expected.
    • Administrators have a limited window (20 days from when the tenant becomes inaccessible) to request reactivation.
    • If the tenant remains inaccessible for more than 20 days, it is deleted and cannot be recovered.

    To proceed:

    1. If access to this specific tenant is required (for Azure training or other work):
      • The tenant administrator must contact Microsoft support using the global support phone numbers to request reactivation, as described in the tenant-inaccessible guidance.
      • Do not open multiple support cases for the same issue; wait for the decision on the first case.
    2. If the tenant has been blocked for more than 20 days:
      • The tenant will be or has been deleted and is not recoverable.
      • In that case, create or use another active tenant for Azure training.
    3. If this is a newly created/free Azure account and sign-in is already blocked:
      • Follow the same reactivation path (tenant admin contacting Microsoft support within the 20‑day window).
      • If reactivation is not possible, create a new tenant under the Microsoft account and use that new tenant for Azure portal and training access.
