Hello,
Now we are using Azure AD Premium P1 and we want to step back to Azure AD Basic without affect Office365 as it was before Azure AD Premium P1.
Is it possible?
Thank you
It's possible, you will simply loose access to the corresponding functionalities that require P1. All your objects and configuration will remain in place.
Thank you for answer.
Please,cam you tell me how to do that?
There's nothing you need to do really, once the P1 licenses expire you will continue using the Azure AD which every Office 365 tenant gets.
I have 100$ credit evety month and I dont want to waste this money for that

Your Azure credit will not be used for Azure AD licenses. You can check the current status of the licenses through Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > Licenses page. Once they expire, you will have renew the license to have the Premium P1 features.
Hello KARRED,
It is already charging my credit :(
That's Azure AD Domain services, it's different from Azure AD Premium. The above advice still stands - cancel the subscription and you wont be charged anymore.
Hi Michev,
I don't want to cancel the whole subscription, I am using Azure backup. I just want to cancel Azure AD P1 cost
Hi, You have to search for Azure AD domain services, this is different from Azure AD.

Hi KAREDD,
also, I have Office 365 E3, and if I will delete the Azure AD domain will it affect Office365?
No, it will not affect your office 365 E3 licenses.
Thank you very much!
If you we're using Azure P1 trial licences or bought licences - just wait they expired. Be sure to have no automatic renew options. Also, when you're saying "I have 100$ credit every month" are you speaking about Free tier Azure or just you company that allows 100$ / user / month ? - In the first option, Azure free tier has nothing to see with Azure AD Premium licences. It will be counted separately.
Do not forget, it's also possible to have MIXED scenarios. For example, a lot of customer will take Azure AD Premium licences for VIP or risky people (Admins, VIP, etc.) to get all the security options (MFA, PIM, etc.) and will keep the base or a lower option for all the "standard" people.
