E1 vs E3 vs E5 ect.
So MS just cleared things up a bit or added dirt to the water even more depending on your view point.
I will break this into 2 areas: Developer Subscriptions and Business Subs.
MS announced June 2019 that Office 365 Developer is now 90 day auto-renewing, changing from yearly expiring. This now means A) tenant can be preserved over time without need to move to a new tenant or pay subscription at end of year and B) you need to refresh+access your dev tenant at least every 90 days to ensure the subscription does not expire. .
Office 365 Developer
Start here : subscription is an Office 365 Enterprise E3 Developer subscription with 25 user licenses. It lasts for 90 days and is free to use for development
