Microsoft Teams Expiration Notice

The notifications are automatic and based on a period of inactivity.  As soon as the system notices activity in the team, the counter starts over.

The expiry is set to 45 days of inactivity.

• A notice will be issued at 30 days, 15 days, and 1 day before the Team expires.

The following user actions will lead to automatic renewal of groups

• SharePoint – View, Edit, Download, Move, Share, Upload Files

After a Team expires, there is a 30 day grace period to recover the chat history and related files.  30 days later the files and history is deleted permanently and unrecoverable.
