Storage limit

How it works

Uploads fail when the cap is full even if the daily transfer cap is free. Lifecycle expiry and version cleanup are how you get under it.

A 1 TB cap blocks uploads. Live files are 400 GB. Old versions and aborted parts are the rest. Expiring them clears the error without a bandwidth change.

How it differs

Storage limit is what you keep. Upload limit is what you may send today.

A full quota often arrives as a generic 500.

Say quota in the error the user sees.

On the ticket

• The practical close is a log line: time, actor, byte count, result.
• Without that line the transfer is a story.
• With it, the next person can see whether this door did what the ticket claimed.
• If the path is shared, say so in the partner profile so a later change does not silently pick a different limit, key, or region.
• On a real ticket, write down the door, the byte count, and the clock.
• For storage limit, that means naming the host or bucket, the expected size, and the time the other side must have a complete file.
• A progress bar is not that record.
• A 200 response that arrives before the complete call is not that record.
• If a retry is allowed, say how many and whether it resumes.
• If a person must approve the send, name the person.
• Partners who receive storage limit files should match on hash or size before they import.
• A same-length corrupt file passes a size check and fails a hash.
• Keep the published hash off the only channel an attacker can edit, or treat it as a corruption check rather than a substitution check.
• When the path changes, new key, new region, new cap, update the profile the same day so the next run does not use a stale limit.
