It appears the recent peak of ingress traffic is finally slowing down… It was good while it lasted :slight_smile: [image]

yep, seeing the same thing. [image] as shown in the third graph, “mustard” color satellite is EU1…looks like they might have slowed down the huge ingress we were seeing from that satellite, which people were speculating was a bunch of free accounts just uploading data.

Last 30 days, there was 10PB of data uploaded, how much free account are needed to do it?

This assumes nothing was deleted, which definitely wasn’t the case.

the slowing down of ingress magicaly started at the annoucement that the payout are going to be divided by 50 to aprox 75% Don’t know if this is related in any way , but it is strange. was getting 100/110 GB by day on 5 different node with 5 different IP i am now in the 40/50 GB by day

I was commenting on the calculation, not the data in the free tier abuser accounts.

It’s hard to think that it’s 10PB of abuse. It’s also unlikely to be related to SNO remuneration, why would the two be linked? I would imagine there was a new client being onboarded. Hope they have lots more data and put it to lots of use! :wink:

Yes, there are often times that customers migrate from other cloud storage providers and that will show up as a very large burst of ingress. That being said, we have taken steps to limit free tier abuse. See ‘ Why are you changing the free tier limit for new accounts? ’. For timing on when the data w…

Chia k32 plotsize requirements is 108GB, and was under that free amt. Now that that limit is lower, and ingress has greatly slowed, it seems the changes were effective to stop this abuse. As the data must be read to submit proof of space and time, i don’t see how they wouldn’t hit the egress limit…
