OneDrive usage data in the usage graph was missing for some license types because, though some Microsoft licenses include OneDrive functionality, Microsoft does not list OneDrive as a separate service in the license. On Demand Licenses would only report usage for services that were explicitly listed in the assigned Microsoft license.

Now On Demand Licenses reports the OnDrive usage for these licenses. Usage data is available as of the release date of the resolved issue and but is not available for dates before the release.

IMPORTANT

As of September 1, 2021 Microsoft has changed User privacy settings to anonymize user names by default. As a result, Licenses reports will have missing or inaccurate usage data including license and user activity.

To correct this issue, use the following steps:

2
Go to Settings | Org settings | Reports.
3
Clear the Display concealed user, group, and site names in all reports check box.

For details, see this Microsoft article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/troubleshoot/miscellaneous/reports-show-anonymous-user-name

On Demand Licenses usage reports are inaccurate. When you check the License Activity reports in the Microsoft 365 admin center under Reports | Usage, GUIDs are displayed in the License Activity reports instead of the Username and Display name. Since On Demand Licenses links the usage data to the users using the Username field, the missing user names can cause inaccuracy in the On Demand Licenses usage reports.

Since On Demand needs that Username to report usage, you would modify your Microsoft report settings to include the User Principal Name (UPN). To show the User Principal Name (UPN) instead of a GUID in the Microsoft License Activity reports, clear the Display concealed user, group, and site names in all reports check box under the Settings | Org settings | Reports section.
