I wanted to see if your hypothesis held water - and it does. I added 100GB to the node from before, and look what happened
- Left: Large node from before. A dip can be seen from the 14th to the 19th, where it shared ingress with the newly grown node
- Middle: “Troubled” node from before. I added exactly 100GB to it, and it’s clearly visible that it added 100 GB, and then stopped growing again. I don’t know why it had less ingress Friday the 16th, but the same bump can be seen on the other node; I’ll chalk this down to randomness.
- Right: Random node on same subnet; no change in size or major network fluctuations over the month Edit - All of the other 23 nodes on this subnet had increased ingress the 16th, current thought: There have been some TTL data that got deleted on all of them.
When I created the post, the “troubled” node was at 512GB, and now after adding 100GB it grew to exactly 611GB before stalling again. (Edited 511 → 611, thanks for spotting that typo @Roxor)
If all goes well, all of this is just a random bug, that will be fixed in a soon update
