It is not possible. Only the satellites would know but those don’t/can’t tell your node timely. It can take weeks until they do. I suspect this might be an architectural scalability issue. As the amount of data stored in the network grows the satellites struggle more and more to cope with it.

You can only check that nothing is broken on your node’s side. I would start with [Filewalker status - #5 by Alexey](https://forum.storj.io/t/filewalker-status/25325/5)

If all your nodes are full and ingress has stopped I would allocate more. Otherwise I doubt it will make any difference.

Yes, this is the biggest issue that SNOs keep complaining about in several threads.
