Hi SourceOneStaffing EasyITSupport,
If your customer receives an email about the need for "re -confirmation payment", it is likely that the membership or billing for high volume email (HVE) service is wasted or required.
Since the HVE account was created under the customer's account, they have to log in to their Microsoft 365 or Azure portal:
Check the billing status.
Update or confirm the payment details.
Re -activate the service if it is suspended.
Even though you are a global administrator, billing-related actions are associated with an account that owns membership, so you cannot see the options unless you are also a billing administrator on that tenant.
- Ask the customer to log in
Log in and check the customer in Microsoft 365 Admin Center or Azure Portal:
Billing> Payment methods
Billing> Products and Services (See for any suspended services)
Information for any alert about payment or service suspension
- HVE Ends Status Status
You can check the status of HVE account at the Exchange Admin Center (as Global Admin):
Go to https://admin.exchange.microsoft.com
Navigate to Mail flow > High Volume Email (Preview)
Check if the HVE account is listed and active
- Check Authentication Issues
If the issue isn’t billing-related, it could be due to authentication or configuration problems:
Ensure SMTP settings are correct (e.g., smtp-hve.office365.com, Port 587, TLS enabled)
Check if OAuth tokens have expired or if basic auth is disabled
Review any custom authentication policies applied to the HVE account
