MDTI reaches end of life August 1, 2026
💰 The standalone Microsoft Defender Threat Intelligence SKU reached end of life on August 1, 2026, with its capabilities available through the Defender portal to customers with Defender or Sentinel at no extra cost.
💡 The announcement says those customers need no feature-migration action.
💰 CSP partners with remaining subscription terms receive a credit memo and are responsible for passing the credit to their customers; Microsoft handles Enterprise Agreement refunds directly.
⚠️ Billing teams should distinguish that financial reconciliation from product access, rather than assuming retirement means threat-intelligence capabilities disappear for eligible Defender and Sentinel users.
