Microsoft is changing cloud storage rules for Microsoft 365 Family, Premium, and Pro subscribers, replacing the current 1TB-per-user allotment with a single shared 2TB pool for all users on a plan. The change applies at subscription renewal after May 2, 2027, and some users may receive bonus storage when switched, though Microsoft hasn't detailed eligibility. For a six-person family plan, this cuts total available storage by roughly two-thirds.

GitLab is overhauling how it throttles requests on GitLab.com, moving from flat limits to caps tied to each subscription plan, applied per user and per top-level group. Free accounts and unauthenticated traffic hit the new limits on October 19, 2026, with two brownout previews on October 7 and 14; Premium and Ultimate users follow in January 2027. Unauthenticated requests, including automation hitting the API without credentials, will be capped at 60 requests per hour per IP regardless of account tier.
