Your node will receive payment for the disk space used and the volume of outbound traffic. ---

I don’t know the answer. I believe for nodes that started GE 32 days ago we can payout the held amount. It is not a hugh amount. **But to be fair there was no final decision on that one yet. We could still end up with a no.** The next few days will reveal that.

The question is when the GE is started. And you quoted the correct respond. If GE was finished before 2026-08-26T00:00:00Z, then this held amount is currently on hold. For everything later it should be possible to pay it. But you are correct - we are waiting for an approve. ---
