Hey, James. Appreciate you reaching out about this. The team shipped an update yesterday so your dashboard now reflects each day's deployment storage amount instead of the billing period maximum.

I'm linking some Deployment Storage optimization tips in case you still need help reducing the amount of storage used

https://vercel.com/docs/deployment-storage/optimize

Hi Amy. Yea after doing some Googling I was able to find stuff about it. It's a little concerning that this was pushed out without an email letting users know. All of a sudden I was getting emails saying that I was using 40 GB of the 10 GB of deployment storage with a single deployment taking up like 30 GB. I started to panic! One issue I ran into is that retention policies were defaulted to 30 days for everything. Even after setting some to 1 week and in some cases 1 day, I wasn't seeing deployments being removed. I had to go through and manually delete deployments. I basically had to delete all by 6 deployments for my major project with 5 of those being production deploys and one being a preview. I am down to 11 GB now out of 10... I was below 10 earlier today but then opening a PR to a repo pushed me up to 11 GB.

So I have gone through and done what the docs say to do, yet it seemed that Vercel was not going and removing the old deploys after I saved the changes, even days after updating.

To add to this, there are projects where the retention is 30 days and I have deployments from January still in my Deployments tab. This project was defaulted to 30 days and I have deployments from Jan-May still there.
