I find any estimates at the beginning of the month… untrustworthy. But we were told there would be [bulk-deletes over several months](https://forum.storj.io/t/discontinuation-of-the-storj-free-tier/25332). And that some geos were [getting special attention](https://forum.storj.io/t/updates-on-test-data/26034/1635). And the test-data-team is [still goofing around](https://forum.storj.io/t/updates-on-test-data/26034/1932) 😉 .

So I haven’t seen anything unexpected: because I kinda expect we’ll be living with this churn for awhile.

(And if you’re unsure about the reports in a 3rd-party dashboard: you can check your individual nodes, right?)
