Oh, we’re fine with less solidity and more cheapness - otherwise we would’ve simply bought more storage volume as you suggested.

On a sidenote, they sure don’t mess around with billing - had to learn that the hard way 😂

I had a disastrous beginning of this year that resulted in, among other things, me completely forgetting about the bill from february (automatic billing had failed because of me maxing out my card), and they shut the services down after a month 😅

Once the payment went through it only took like 15-30 minutes for the services and console to be available again, but that’s some tough love 😃
