We are retiring the Project usage report (Project activity) from Reports > Usage in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Currently, the report shows how many users are active in the Project desktop client, Project Online, and Project for the web. Because Project Online and Project for the web have been retired, the Project usage report is also being retired. Starting December 4, 2026, the Project usage report will no longer be available in the Microsoft 365 admin center, and its historical data will no longer be accessible there.
