Microsoft has canceled its plans to impose a daily limit of 2,000 external recipients for bulk email senders using Exchange Online. The decision comes after customer feedback indicated that the proposed limits would create significant operational challenges. The rate limit was initially announced in April 2024 and was set to be enforced starting in January 2025.
