Well, I won’t believe anything 100% until I have tested it myself when the code is available, but that’s what the developers say.

I asked the development group.

May I ask where you found the information that suggests “archived sites remain indexed and available to Purview compliance solutions like eDiscovery, so administrators can still run content searches to find and export content from the archived sites.” I must be missing it, but I can’t find that in the Message Center post, nor in the accompanying articles.

There’s retention applied by OneDrive and retention applied by Purview.

It seems clear that any OneDrive site unlicensed for more than 90 days will be archived. How long it remains in that state depends on whether a retention hold applies to the site or files in the site OR the OneDrive retention period. At least, that’s my understanding. We need to test this when the code is available.

The MSFT documentation indicates that retention will apply regardless of the additional subscription. However, as long as the prerequisites arent met, you’ll not be able (even as admin) to access the data after that 90 days. And the prerequisites are all about billing setup and subscription assignment.
And I assume archiving can only last for as long as the retention period is configured?

Thank you!
