The remediation to this was to always contact Microsoft EXO Support and open a ticket to request that your EWS throttling for your tenant be lifted so you could move your mailboxes more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason for the EWS Throttling was to keep large amounts of data from flooding the front end server farm possibly causing a temporary outage or corruption of data going to the cloud since there are literally thousands of customers going through the same server farm and possibly migrations. Throttling was a way to keep everything in check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microsoft recently made an interesting change to the automated support handling capabilities of the Microsoft 365 admin center to handle requests for Exchange Web Services (EWS) throttling to be lifted for up to 90 days without human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here is how to request the throttling be lifted via the M365 Support Assistant:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to the Help (?) section of the Microsoft 365 admin center.<\/li><li>Click the Need Help icon.<\/li><li>Enter \u201cEWS throttling\u201d as the search phrase.<\/li><li>Click Run tests when asked to check your environment. Essentially, the tests check what EWS throttling applies to the tenant.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"783\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-736\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image.png 783w, https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-300x282.png 300w, https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-768x721.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 783px) 100vw, 783px\" \/><figcaption>Getting EWS Throttling Support<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-737\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-1.png 730w, https:\/\/itblog.ldlnet.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image-1-300x138.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption>Running the Tests from the Admin Center<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The support assistant checks the tenant settings and concludes that EWS is throttled (the normal situation).
