- JFrog sponsorship allows not more than 5 TB storage, we were over 10 TB storage
- Darin Pope reduced our storage to less then 2 TB
- Deleted obsolete, unused caches after backup has been created
- We are still exceeding their bandwidth limits (limit is 10TB per month, currently using 20Tb per month)
- JFrog access logs have been collected for a week, Basil Crow has agreed to analyze them to detect abuse and overuse
- Basil’s guess is that GitHub Actions are the primary consumer, logs will answer the question
- The bandwidth use is from the releases repository, not from public
