In a response to the forum post, Douglas Pearce, Microsoft group program manager apologized to OneDrive customers and even announced that those opt-in to keep their free 15GB of storage will also be able to keep their 15GB of camera roll bonus storage. He posted, "we are all genuinely sorry for the frustration this decision has caused and for the way it was communicated. Thank you for sticking with us."

So be sure to sign up to keep your 15GB of free storage and the additional 15GB of camera roll storage. Or come January 31, it'll be reduced to a measly 5GB.
