US1 high delete rate?

Hi, new operator here,
I am curious about the pattern of churn on US1 pieces,
I believe you may be aware of this pattern,
Do you know of the reasons for it?
Is the traffic from real customers, synthetic, or both?
Thank you

US1 is real customers (compared to test data on SLC). Many customers using Storj for backups (example) will have retention policies to only keep old data for so long: so they get to a point where the old stuff is getting deleted as fast as the latest backups are being uploaded.

Thankfully overall usage is still going up! Though the last few months haven’t been fast.
