I’ve been running a script to fill a bucket to the 1TB limit and remove all the files again for a few days now. But for some reason I’m not able to upload anymore. Waited like 7 hours and still cant upload any files. Overview page on the satellite shows 1TB used, despite no files exist in the bucket. ![billede](https://lc-storj.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/f/f215595f548608bf463202d1449df821de61ccf8.png) ```auto 32.00 KiB / 9.31 GiB [> ____________________________________________] 0.00% ? p/s Error: metainfo error: Exceeded Usage Limit; metainfo error: Exceeded Usage Limit root@server030:~# date -u Mon Feb 10 03:32:37 UTC 2020 root@server030:~# root@server030:~# uplink ls BKT 2020-01-29 02:22:18 test root@server030:~# root@server030:~# uplink ls sj://test root@server030:~# uplink --log.level debug ls sj://test 2020-02-10T04:33:22.236+0100 INFO Configuration loaded from: /root/.local/share/storj/uplink/config.yaml 2020-02-10T04:33:22.236+0100 DEBUG debug server listening on 127.0.0.1:40031 2020-02-10T04:33:23.189+0100 DEBUG allowed minimum version from control server is: v0.26.0 2020-02-10T04:33:23.189+0100 INFO running on version v0.31.12 root@server030:~# ``` 7 hours later … ```auto root@server030:~# date -u Mon Feb 10 10:11:57 UTC 2020 root@server030:~# root@server030:~# uplink ls BKT 2020-01-29 02:22:18 test root@server030:~# uplink ls sj://test root@server030:~# uplink --log.level debug ls sj://test 2020-02-10T11:12:16.753+0100 INFO Configuration loaded from: /root/.local/share/storj/uplink/config.yaml 2020-02-10T11:12:16.753+0100 DEBUG debug server listening on 127.0.0.1:35875 2020-02-10T11:12:17.298+0100 DEBUG allowed minimum version from control server is: v0.26.0 2020-02-10T11:12:17.298+0100 INFO running on version v0.31.12 root@server030:~# 32.00 KiB / 9.31 GiB [> ____________________________________________] 0.00% ? p/s Error: metainfo error: Exceeded Usage Limit; metainfo error: Exceeded Usage Limit ``` Could this be a result of 1 TB Zombi segments? Support has been notified, and I’ll post in here as it progresses. ---

Looks like it’s a known issue by the dev team. They are currently working on a fix. 👍 ---

@Th3Van Hello I am going through the same problem as well and was wondering if there has been a fix yet. I was also wondering if this problem is within a single API key level or the whole account level, thank you. ---

Hello @blu, and welcome the forum! I have not tried with a new API key, but I think the fix are on its way : [https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/764](https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/764) ---

In our case, we did remove **all the buckets and files** testing the system and it seems according to [https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/764](https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/764) our accounting is not working due to a bug related to unaccountable transactions. Since we are at a stand still, what is a potential short-term solution? ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/0/002eb5486ceab96df295d8e84c97521e11401ab6.jpeg) ---

Our dev team is currently working on a fix, unfortunately I do not currently have an ETA for when the solution will be available yet. Thanks for your patience! ---

Any progress on this issue? Six days ago, I did a 30 x 1TB concurrent upload test that all failed @ ~24TB → [Uploads limited to 24 hours?](https://forum.storj.io/t/uploads-limited-to-24-hours/5353) The upload issue has since been fixed, but I have not preformed the upload test again, because I’m being charged ~$8 each day since the upload test failed. I’m currently at ~$116.88 in cost for storing 0 object and 32TB of “zombie/failed” storage on the network, that I’m not able to remove/delete myself. 🙂 If the 30TB upload test fails again, I could end up being charged ~$16 daily, and the $125 I’ve deposit to the EU satellite, will all be spend on zombie/failed storage, and not on legit storage 😉 ![billede](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/d/d8cdf73a3bd158ceab83ce1eff3c3b8759db08b4.png) ![billede](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/2/2720ec5885a3d7ce51208efa65657f606baf2d3f.png) ![billede](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/2X/2/2ef458de13ee29bea6e63b0546cab5791cf2fe15.png) //Th3Van ---
