Default storage limit for OneDrive online is 1 TB for all the Microsoft 365 users. SharePoint Admin can change the OneDrive’s storage quota limit from the OneDrive Admin Center but that would be for all users. If a user’s OneDrive is reaching the the 1 TB storage limit than SharePoint admin can increase the storage limit for that user using Microsoft 365 Admin Center and by using SharePoint online PowerShell.

User can view their storage limit by going to OneDrive Settings à More Settings and click on Storage Matrix.
