Thanks guys for the feedback. I know about the 2TB requirements, but I have read on another thread on this forum that limiting the bandwidth can still lead to disqualification:

> [@What happens when bandwidth limit is reached?](https://forum.storj.io/t/what-happens-when-bandwidth-limit-is-reached/3865):
>
> I currently have my bandwidth limit set to 0.6TB. I think the limit will be reached in about two days if Stefan keeps going. Will all requests stop at that point? Are there any exceptions for emergency data repair or audits? Also, does the node tally all data traffic or just traffic from transfers that were successful (did not loose the long tail race against other nodes)?

To quote “nerdatwork”:

> As of now if bandwidth limit is reached the node will be disqualified.

Can I get an official response, if I safely can ignore the warning that the BANDWIDTH limit is reached?

Devs?
