Storage Size dashboard showing 830 MB but actual usage is only 1.49 MB

I'm experiencing a significant discrepancy between the Storage Size shown in the dashboard and the actual storage usage from the database.
Dashboard shows:

Average Storage Size: 830.465 MB (as of Nov 8, 2025)
The metric has been consistently showing 700-830 MB for several days

What I did:

• I previously had ~9 videos and multiple images uploaded
• I deleted most files through the Storage UI, keeping only 2 videos and 4 images
• The files were successfully deleted (confirmed via SQL queries - they don't exist in storage.objects)
• However, the dashboard Storage Size metric hasn't updated in several days

Additional context:

• Project is on Free Plan
• Buckets: generated_videos and generated_images
• I've waited 48+ hours for the metric to refresh (dashboard says "data refreshes every hour")
• Query breakdown by bucket:

  generated_videos: 2 files, ~1.4 MB
  generated_images: 2 files, ~0.09 MB

Expected behavior:
The Storage Size dashboard should reflect the actual storage usage of ~1.5 MB

Current behavior:
Dashboard continues to show 830 MB despite files being deleted

Is this a known caching issue? Is there a way to force the storage metrics to recalculate? I'm concerned about potential billing implications even though I'm currently on the free plan.

How exactly did you delete the files? You must use the actual storage tab in the dashboard UI or the REST storage API. You must never delete storage.objects directly.
The lag seems to come up a bit. Not clear if it goes back down before the next billing period or not.
If you deleted correctly you could try support, but not sure if they will respond timely to this sort of Free issue.

Thank you. Gonna try support.
