No test traffic from Saltlake anymore?

[gs.gs]

Hi there,
I get almost no test data from SL since yesterday. Did I do something wrong? I have it on several nodes behind the same ip.

I get almost no test data from SL since yesterday.

Hi @gs.gs, although it is news from a few weeks ago, maybe it is related to this:

Looks like test data is flowing again. But I never expect it to be continuous.

[gs.gs]

Yep, it is starting up again on my nodes as well.

this should be according to the plans:

Storj Network Growth Plan

The Storj network is experiencing a pivotal transition from an innovative concept to a thriving platform, with paid storage growing at ~12%+ monthly and multiple 10+ PB prospects in active testing. This growth necessitates strategic expansion of our network capacity, performance, and geographic distribution. To address these needs, we’re implementing changes to incentivize proactive capacity expansion. These modifications aim to increase our total node count, enhance node connectivity and perfo…

But granted, there could be issues with the load-test facility.
Please, do not panic
