Just a Public Question

[Skyblockpro1]

Now I know that Storj compared to Mining is being utilized by actual users, but I’m wondering if others have noticed in dip of ingress and egress. I have 2 nodes running in 2 different locations and both have dipped at the same time, PS they are in different countries.
Included are pictures of the statistics. and yes both have good audits and uptime
Any ideas or just if the same thing is happening to you?

Bandwidth utilization comparison thread

I know exactly why egress is low… it’s because I’m migrating my nodes and they are offline Storjlabs doesn’t want me to miss out on egress Just kidding… it happens from time to time that there is no egress or no ingress. They might be switching test patterns or encounter a problem they want to fix first. We’ll probably see some more egress again on Monday or Tuesday.

Caida de trafico de un dia para otro

Hola, es normal que de un dia para otro caiga tanto el trafico? [1] [2] puede que mi nodo tenga algun problema o es normal? gracias

albeit in spanish, and this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/storj/comments/juk8o5/huge_drop_in_bandwidth_used/

both also attempt to address this concern. Seems like:

1. You are not alone
2. This is part of having real customers

I’ve gone from 6gb/day to about 1gb/day on a vetting node.

Yep. It was about 1/4 today of what it was yesterday. Nothing wrong with your node, it’s just normal variation.
Also, it was a Sunday so maybe fewer professional outfits using the platform

Same here…

I believe such pattern shows that still most of the traffic is test traffic generated by Storjlabs.
When they change pattern to test something specific, all nodes are affected and see similarites in pattern change. It seems that Tardigrade is still in the very need of real customers, customers, customers.
