I have disabled auto-renew on the 3 small subscriptions. We have managed to free up 3 licenses, therefore we have 3 available licenses not being used. I'm not a fan of having these tiny, separate subscriptions and want to consolidate them into one. When I assign a user with a Microsoft Business Standard license, it just dips into the total available licenses. The Microsoft 365 portal has a total count of 203/203 assigned licenses. Therefore we have subscriptions which contain a small number of licenses.

However, unknowing until recently, a colleague of mine has been creating separate subscriptions for each new license. When we have a requirement for new starters, I will simply add a license to this subscription. I have a large subscription containing 200 Microsoft Business Standard licenses. Here's my scenario, with made up numbers to make it easier. I have expired some Microsoft 365 subscriptions and would like confirmation what will happen to them.
