Finally, a happy ending

This makes perfect sense, average users definitely don't need to be uploading that much stuff privately, great for testing but if it's not worth releasing publicly it's not worth storing on servers for free :)

Great update !

btw we’ll continue to support the community via our grants programme, you can read more about it here: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/storage-limits

Once the new rules go live, what will happen to the accounts that already have private repos exceeding the 100GB mark?

I really like this 🤗 .

Amazing!!!

I was about to delete some of my models and datasets to save space. What a relief.

Anyway, as a way for users to deal with this, it seems that if we are unsure, we should just leave it as Public.
We should only use Private for things that are truly private or for work in progress.
Thank you for your generous treatment.😊

Perhaps HF doesn't really want to draw a line either, but there is no other way to counter malicious intent.
If it is Private, it is more difficult to grasp the actual usage situation than with Public, even if there is large-scale abuse or an attack on the site. The bigger and more famous the site becomes, the more inevitable it becomes.

I have some questions - what does "quota" mean? Is it equal to "free available space"?
So, if we have 13TB/1TB quota, then 12TB will be billed/ or, 13TB/14TB quota, then 12TB is billed (for pro)?
Also, if it's the case, will quota be shrinked?

Yea i'll DEF consider if my budget can handle it do Enterprise for at least E&D - right now i'm juggling several small income things (none of which can really be classified as a business) and being that i don't really have a job it'll be depending on how i juggle stuff.

I tried discord but huggingface space has shown "too many redirections" error unfortunately so
I found that actually huggingface seems to keep all 'revisions' or versions even after super squash history, which causes storage usage accumulated.
So, we can upload file with same name again - (update), it accumulate uses for each versions, which even persists after super squash.

The removal of repository seems to be instant, file - seems like there are some delay, but super squash does not affect quota, even if user can't do anything related to it.
(Maybe it has to check Pull requests / branches too)

Will it be fixed?

I like to apologize to @john6666 , @FashionStash and whoever else I bothered with the taking down of my models, it just didn't make sense to me to limit creators in what they could share, I'm not sure if I made any difference but limiting only private models makes perfect sense to me, it looks like this now:

I have set everything I had public back to public and I intend to make all these private models public as well ASAP. They are mostly backups of other people's models in case they come offline, since they're online at the original place I saw no reason to make the backups public, but now I see no reason to keep them private, and, AFAIK they're really only pointers to files, not using any extra space unless the original ones are taken down.

The rest are models I never released because I considered them "bad quality", not ready for release, but if I learned something from @digiplay it was when I took down my Wonder model for that reason, but it was online for long enough that digiplay rescued it and showed me that it was a decent model, so the ones I kept hidden could have been online and enjoyed by people that liked them.

So 543GB worth of private models are getting public soon, and it's a nice change if people running out of private space make them public instead of deleting them.
