Description

We are pausing the introduction of a minimum billable object size for the cool, cold, and archive access tiers. As a result, billing behavior will not change on July 1, 2026, for either new or existing storage accounts.  

We will provide an update on our revised approach and timeline in a future Azure Update. No action is required from customers at this time.
