Why is my PST import stuck at 0% in Microsoft 365?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans<\/strong>. This usually happens due to a large PST file size, incorrect permissions, network interruptions, or delays on Microsoft\u2019s servers. In some cases, the import job may be stuck in the analysis phase rather than actually processing data.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775557826766\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q2. How long does it take to import a PST file into Exchange Online?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\"><strong>Ans<\/strong>. The speed depends on file size and server load. On average, Microsoft processes around 20\u201325 GB per day per mailbox, but delays can occur if multiple jobs are running or the network upload is slow.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1775557844190\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Q3.
