I think there is a message now, but it could be improved.

I received this personal message today, after upgrading the forum:

> **Downloading remote images disabled**
> 
> The `download_remote_images_to_local` setting was disabled because the disk space limit at `download_remote_images_threshold` was reached.

The solution for me was:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher cleanup

```

> (Total reclaimed space: 23.09GB)

I wonder whether the message could explain something about the problem and potential solutions.
