As mentioned before, the safe version to be one is the one listed under processes.minimum. Everything lower than this is not guaranteed to get uploads, especially when being more than 1 minor release behind that one.
We are aware of that docker nodes get the update last and take hours up to days and thus our current soft limit is (as mentioned above) one minor version lower than the current satellite version. Meaning everyone that is on v1.13.0 an higher will not have any impact with our satellite being on v1.14.7.
Also traffic in your case hopefully just means uploads, because thats the only place where the soft limit takes action on.
The point here is:
Do not mess with manual scripts/updates rather than use the provided/recommended tooling.
If you are missing bits on the existing tooling, make proposals in the corresponding subforum, so that we can improve and add them. Doing manual updates makes our overall progress much, much slower and it is in the best interest of us all to develop and release new features and/or bugfixes with a smaller turn around time.
