Hello Storj community, I’ve noticed a concerning discrepancy between my node’s actual storage usage and what’s being displayed on the Storj dashboard. Let me share the details: Dashboard Statistics: - Bandwidth Used This Month: 0.68TB - Average Disk Space Used: 128.22GB - Total Disk Space: 5TB - Currently Used: 469.3GB - Free Space: 4.51TB - Trash: 25.56GB However, when checking my actual storage usage, I’m seeing significantly higher numbers: - Storage Used: 662.26 GiB - Total Available: 138.08 TiB This represents a notable difference between the dashboard metrics and actual storage utilization. The pattern began around January 11th, as shown by the bandwidth utilization graph which displays a sharp increase in ingress traffic. Questions: 1. Is anyone else experiencing similar discrepancies between dashboard readings and actual storage usage? 2. Could this be related to the recent increase in ingress traffic? 3. What troubleshooting steps would you recommend to identify the root cause? I would appreciate any insights or guidance on resolving this issue. I’m running this node on TrueNAS Scale [Screenshots attached showing bandwidth utilization, storage metrics, and actual disk usage] ![Snímka obrazovky 2025-01-21 o 23.33.43](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/6/6/6625c47a626865ea597f06393f48e46e49cd9769.png) ![Snímka obrazovky 2025-01-21 o 23.33.50](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/8/b/8b0f823d548b10d37b32efb5e5c27c8aeec678c0.png) ![Snímka obrazovky 2025-01-21 o 23.34.47](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/0/4/04b6cb2e0558e97d811fdcb541150005b05e6cec.png) Thank you for your help in advance. ---

Hello @Barlog951, Welcome to the forum! Both are known issues: Avg: > [@Avg disk space used dropped with 60-70%](https://forum.storj.io/t/avg-disk-space-used-dropped-with-60-70/26495): > > Is this something with the satellite again? Or just deletion of 300TB+ of data? TL;DR Avg cannot be fixed on the storagenode side, because it’s missing reports from the satellite. Unless you can solve this issue: [Fix storage usage gaps displaying · Issue #7009 · storj/storj · GitHub](https://github.com/storj/storj/issues/7009) Total Used space: > [@Used space gets reset after restart](https://forum.storj.io/t/used-space-gets-reset-after-restart/28408): > > Hello, Is it normal that the used space drops after a reboot? my node is a couple of days old, and i see in the dashboard 108gigs used space First time i restarted the vm at around 40gigs, used dropped to ±7gigs Now i restarted again, used dropped from 108gig to 8.2gig trash and overused are both 0 but if i do df -h i see that there is 167gig in use there are so many logentries but i dont really see errors at first node is running in a dedicated storj proxmox vm and with no additional dr… This one has a workaround, but not a fix, see the topic. Both issues do not affect your payouts.
