Hello @ccigas ,
Welcome to the forum!

@ccigas

Is it true each node max’s out at 24TB?

There is no hard limit how much space do you want to allocate, the reason is different: at some point the equilibrium between uploads and deletions become close to some number, at the moment it’s

@BrightSilence

• This has moved the theoretical limit where nodes stop filling up further because deletes match ingress all the way to 75TB, which used to be around 40TB.
• Nodes fill up at about 6TB per year in early years now, which used to be around 4TB per year.

@ccigas

Seems like its only because of the transactions cost which makes sense.

not only. There are two aspects:

• Held amount (some kind of escrow): How does held back amount work? - Storj Docs
• Minimum Payout Threshold: Payout - Storj Docs

So @penfold warned you about the held system for new nodes, not postponed payout, however they both can prevent you from receiving any money for a long time (unless you opt-in for zkSync and get 10% bonus, but it will help only with the Minimum Payout Threshold).
