      Boot them, most likely. Or eat the cost, and look to shutter the free space/apply limits ASAP.

      Not unlike Amazon Cloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox here. There was someone on the datahoarders Reddit who famously shoved a Petabyte of Data into their unlimited cloud drive, and likely contributed to it being shut down as a result.

        hope they had an offline backup.
