SNOs with lots of data... How?

i mean, for example my nodes dont even have any held amout worth the game, all was returned long ago (all my nodes are from like 2019-2020) I guess old nodes did not accumulated big held amounts. If this month there will be no pay, that would be a good point to start paying with delay, instead of held amount.

If there would be 1-2 month delay say in 08.2023, You get paid for 06.2023. And in 09.2023 for 07.2023, that way it scales with node size, even after 15 months. What if after 15 months the 20TB node quits without “graceful exit”? How much the cost will be?

Because
2 months of buffer for 20TB would be like
20TB * 1,5 * 2 months = $60? (with current $1,5 per TB)
and
20TB * $2,5 * 2 months = $100 (with $2,5 per TB)
i guess $100 still better than $0, which is a held amount after 15 months, right?

The more You pay a node for storage, the better buffer will be for repair costs.
And the better incentive to keep the node, and keep getting paid every month.

that could work even more complementary if combined with low egress $ rate
