Microsoft Teams Priority Notification for all - extended to April 1 2020

After the promotion, it seems all E3, A3 and higher plans will include unlimited messages, where E1, A1 and F1 will be limited to 5 messages per user per month.

Office Business will also be able to use this feature. Essentials subscribers will have the same 5 messaged limit, and Premium will be unlimited.
