Yes.
Anticipated customer usecase:
Obviously they would not be wasting money just for the heck of it.
You can throttle the ingress by setting the storage2.max-concurrent-requests to some amount (like <50).
You could also opt out of storing any data by gracefully exiting from the saltlake satellite forever.
I know about DDoS prevention on Asus routers. I believe I was the fist one who discovered that it is bad for storagenodes and reported on the forum. 
In that case they likely should be forced to do the same for the production satellites later. Perhaps itâs better to improve the setup instead as suggested by @arrogantrabbit
You get paid to hold the data: even if itâs just from performance testing (and even if itâs time-limited: like for a month). Payment is the point 
Can somebody tell if the tests are now completed, or still ongoing? Since the traffic is still high, but as being told the test were supposed to end the past weekend.
I remember seeing that theyâd continue on the weekend⌠but I donât think I heard that theyâd be done?
Either way: we get paid for what we store, so arenât we hoping for high traffic⌠forever? 
Iâm hoping for real data, and not self terminating test data, because I know itâll get destroyed after 30 Days, and the well filled Drive will being emptied. Also the data is paid by storj and not customers. I would like to see âreal growthâ and not âfake growthâ like seen in the past.
Iâm a bit concerned that a client could constantly upload data with a short TTL of 1 day keeping the whole network busy but the used space doesnât grow after 1 day.
This customer would only pay for the space they can upload in 1 day. Did Storj think of such a scenario?
SNOs canât tell customers when to delete their data. Maybe itâs backups that get deleted after 3 months. Maybe itâs CCTV footage that only lasts a month. I donât care⌠pay me and Iâll hold it until tomorrow if you want 
Paying Customers donât waste their time uploading data that only lasts a couple days. But even if they do (such as when running a new trial of Storj)⌠itâs not enough to worry about. If anyone is constantly uploading+deleting⌠theyâre still constantly paying.
Apparently the new customer is going to do the same - uploads lots of data that self-destructs after a while.
What is the reason doing something like this? Data protection (of customers data or something like that)?
CCTV recordings (they are only kept for a set time)
Backups (again, only kept for a set time)
other short-term data that becomes useless after a month or whatever.
For everyone worried about the âshiftâ to TTL/short-lived data, keep in mind that the ingress for the last 30 days of US1 has been 24.4PB, and current used space for US1 is 15.5PB. These levels of ingress have been there for a while, meaning that most of data ingress is already short lived and is nothing new to the network.
I have a 150Mbit/s connection up and down, so I could download 1.6TB each day and with the tests I got ~8TB this month already. I would be pissed if 1 customer uses all my bandwith every day and pays me only $2.40/month for it. I think that would be the point for me to leave Storj.
Edit: Just to clarify, Iâm talking about data with a TTL of 1 day.
no. 1.49$ TBm⌠so will be 2.4 per month
If weâre lucky enough to gain some large customers⌠then there probably will be a few SNOs that donât meet the recommended reqs (such as unmetered transfers) and who will walk away. If I had a capped plan Iâd maybe have to leave too.
But until then⌠let the bits and the cash flow!
Yea, just opened my eyes (was sleeping on the chair), read the last reply and posted 
What is the minimum TTL anyway? If itâs even less than 1 day then Storj would be open for such âattacksâ.
