The setting is activated for the next user that is deleted as well as any users that are in the process of being deleted

Hello,

About this "The setting is activated for the next user that is deleted as well as any users that are in the process of being deleted. The count begins as soon as the user account was deleted in the Microsoft 365 admin center, even though the deletion process takes time."

If we take as an example this scenario:

1. Used AD Connect to sync users from on-premise
2. Current policy is set for 30 days
3. User "Test.UserA" was deleted two weeks ago July 20, 2022, so user retention left like ~15 days
4. We change now policy from 30 to 90 days

Question: the user "Test.UserA" retention will be extended to ~75 days?

Somehow not clear :)
