The curious drop in mail items reported by Get-MailboxStatistics
Office 365 provides users with 50 GB mailbox quotas, so you’d expect that these mailboxes accumulate tens of thousands of items over time, especially as the default retention policy applied by Exchange Online does not clean out Deleted Items folders from user mailboxes (unless you change the policy).
