Once user logged in, current powershell doesn't fetch tenants/subs again. So you need to call Disconnect-AzAccount first and then call Connect-AzAccount -MaxContextPopulation nnn
We are considering this feature because it's not easy fix and it changes the default behavior of Connect-AzAccount
Possibly related. I noticed Azure PowerShell doesn't get all subscriptions in the second tenant 72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47 which I pass to Connect-AzAccount. Tenant 72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47 contains several subscriptions, but only one is populated as a context.

WARNING: TenantId '72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47' contains more than one active subscription. First one will be selected for further use. To select another subscription, use Set-AzContext.
To override which subscription Connect-AzAccount selects by default, use `Update-AzConfig -DefaultSubscriptionForLogin 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000`. Go to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2200610 for more information.
