I don’t think that changes anything. You did nothing wrong. Rather or not the company thinks you are a burden is their problem isn’t it?

not sure why your system flagged this post. you hearing feedback is important
This is what I see:
This post was flagged by the community
So, community member flagged it. “System” just hid it until moderator takes a look. There is no point in re-posting: either the post was OK and will be unhidden, and now you have a duplicate; or it was not – in which case the second post will be also flagged.
That said, I don’t see anything wrong with the quoted text of your post – to be entitled, to overreact, or speak in grotesque absolute terms all for $5 is not a crime. But I wonder, what does your username “sjsucks” mean? Perhaps its the reason?
Looking that you joined less than a week ago, and only participate in threads related to fees – I kind of guess what it is; in this case — yes, that’s the reason your post was flagged. Surpiringly, just that your post. Maybe the person flagging did not bother looking for other posts.
Was somebody able to delete their account?
I see a new bill with status “paid”, but still see this message when trying to delete my account: "There’s some recent usage on your account that hasn’t been paid yet."
I deleted all files before end of May 
As a user who keeps few GBs of backup and actively using the network while pays only with Storj I am concerned if I am misusing it or abusing it in a way I am not aware if this is harmful. Can you at least create some knowledge base on the ways it is abusive to use the network? Proper configuration or backup / data storing patterns which would lead to a health & sane use at least for the percentage of users who try to be on the good side of things here?
As a node operator who provide a disproportionate bigger volume of data storage versus data usage, I don’t understand why I can be a bottleneck in the network. Providing 7TB of storage to store 70GB isn’t something someone could justify it to me a minimum charing cost.
Received the following in a support email:
Update: the period has been extended by August 1, 2025 and the minimum fee for STORJ token payments has been waived.
Please note that the minimum fee will not apply to invoices for June 2025 and July 2025 and will apply to invoices beginning in September 2025 for prior month usage less than the minimum fee. If there is zero usage or you prepay via a partner or pay with STORJ token or the invoice is greater than or equal to the minimum amount, there is no minimum fee.
and this from the linked support page:
- If your usage exceeds $5 per month, you will not be charged a minimum usage fee.
- If you prepay via a partner or pay with STORJ token, you will not be charged a minimum usage fee.
- Any monthly usage that results in an invoice less than $5 will result in the minimum usage fee.
Sure looks to me that if you prepay or use Stroj token, there is NO minimum fee.
I think we’re mostly* done here?
*depending on your preferred payment method
Depends on your prefered payment method 
Is it on US1? I would expect the US1 invoice run to get finalized later today. Some invoices like yours get finalized automatically but other invoices will need to get checked by out accounting team before running the final command.
It’s on EU1, and this post has at least 20 characters
I thought for a moment that might be a bug and asked around. Turns out EU1 and AP1 are also waiting for the final green light. I hope we will get it today.
What does “prepay via a partner” mean? There’s an “add funds” button in billing settings, I’m able to pay an arbitrary cash amount into account funds. This seems to not have a minimum at this point. If $10 is prepaid into account funds in one transaction here, will that cause invoices to still be increased to the $5 minimum each month (from Sep onward), or will the $5 minimum no longer apply as the only cash transaction was >$5?
It’s when you register an account with a partner code, for example like IX+Storj and subscribed to the IX Starter Package, which exactly the prepaid model.
“Add funds” option doesn’t give an exemption from the minimum fee, only STORJ tokens.
It’s not an additional fee, it’s more like a rounding. If your usage is greater than zero, but the invoice sum less than $5, it will be $5. If it’s greater or equal than $5, the invoice will not be changed.
That is daft. If it was for fiat transaction fees, that’s maybe understandable, because there are ways to accommodate a provider needing to offset transaction fees, such as enforcing a minimum transaction amount. Every small business in my local area does this, if your purchase is less than $5 there’s either a 1% fee or a 10c fee, because the financial institution imposes it so they pass it on. But this (specifically this new policy’s effect, i’m applying no moral judgement to any singular person) is just greedy.
