How long for a deactivated user to free license

I am deactivating suspended and non-active users to free up licenses. How long before those licenses are available to assign to a new user? Typically or on average?

Hello @melissa_cheney 

When you deactivate a user within Atlassian cloud the licenses they consumed should become available immediately.

Are you not experiencing that?

Hello @melissa_cheney ,

Good day! Welcome to Atlassian Community :)

It typically takes 24–48 hours for the license count to sync and reflect the freed-up license. This is due to license count caching on the backend.

Contact Atlassian Support if count doesn't update after 48 hours

Hello @Shalini Pradhan 

Is that information published in a document somewhere? I didn't find it, but I would like to bookmark it for future reference.
