- AWS abuse report is progressing slowly on the top 3 consumers
- Jenkins project use has further reduced bandwidth use
- Still areas to improve (weekly generation of extensions list)

- September: 19 TB
- October: 17 TB

- Have done some work on our side to reduce the usage on our agents
- Usage has gone down 20-30% since the work started
- Currently don’t see a path getting down that low with organic improvements
- Still an ongoing conversation with JFrog
- Next steps are to do some brown outs and block some IP addresses to see who complains
- This will allow us to find out who the top users are and communicate with them to reduce their usage
- In a holding pattern to determine next steps
- Waiting on JFrog for some feedback on what they want to do next
