Storage Problems

Good Morning,

Yesterday I have deleted a large amount of TB in my bucket.

I created a custom dashboard to monitor the space of mine bucket but it hasn't update with the new free space and still the same space before I delete that items.

Someone had has the same problem or someone know how to resolve it?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, Nicolas,  If you are looking at storage/object_count or storage/total_byte_seconds or storage/total_bytes metrics, these are updated only once per day[1].  You should see your numbers update within ~24 hours. If you want to confirm the deletions faster, it's probably better to look at the total count of delete operations by  filtering the api/request_count by the operation type.
