Power Platform admin center – Automatic deletion of inactive developer environments

Microsoft Power Platform is introducing a cleanup mechanism that will automatically remove inactive developer environments from your tenant (inclusive of all entry points, including the Power Apps Maker Portal and Power Platform admin center). This change will begin rolling out in mid-April 2023 by region and will be available worldwide by the end of May 2023.

With this change, developer environments will be first disabled after 90 days of inactivity. Once the environment has been disabled for 30 days, the environment will be deleted if no action is taken by administrators.
