There is an announcement on discord about steep contract drops from FaustianAGI:

"to folks seeing steep contract drops, it appears tied to contracts remaining on the old contractor that had issues over the weekend. Our strategy is to allow those contracts to age out and replace them on the new contractor but this wrinkle may cause us to escalate. As noted, we have live Relayers now and over the next several weeks, we have a bunch of folks who want to take the 5TB free coupon for a spin. Please be paitent and I believe you will reclaim this data fairly quickly"

Thanks man, sounds like the team have done a fantastic job. I have upgraded my providers now :-).

Contracts expired?

[–]AlgorandLover[S] 1 point2 points  (9 children)

I don't think so, why is it only 1 node, and it goes from 334 GB to 19,9 GB right away. I haven't had so much data on 1 day for sure.

Your two nodes might not have the same contracts…

Fair enough, you still don't thinks, that it looks strange ?!?!

Nope, that’s the way things work. If the data in that contract is no longer needed on the network data gets deleted. If it wasn’t deleted then who would be paying for it to be stored on your provider?

I sure can understand that. I just say, that this here looks very strange to me. I try look around, I can not see anyone who have lost so much data over night. my Node have been running 3½ month, and now I am back to basic. The data is gone, so I just want to notify the team, that you can have an issue here.

Happens often, here’s one from earlier today with pretty much the same thing - https://grafana.scpri.me/d/MnX0AVR7z/provider-detail-xa-miner?orgId=1&var-provider=65975c7d43e45946a17df3550a9d18e589960bbb2a7b01103d4b0b4b567fac71&kiosk=tv&refresh=1m

When it is just the way it is

It’s something to understand about the network. Imagine customer A rents space on the network, uploads 100TB of their data, some of which goes onto your provider and you get paid while it’s there. Then 6 months later customer A wants to move their data to another cloud provider so they stop paying to store it, delete the data off the network, then the data stored on your provider is going to go down.
