That is entirely predictable behaviour, seen by almost free service which
doesn't have usage limits. When all the cost pressures fall on a 3rd
party there is no incentive for people to moderate their usage, whether
it be CPU burn, storage usage, network bandwidth, or something else.

Any free service will almost inevitably end up imposing policies to
control usage in areas where they're feeling the greatest burden, once
their funding starts to look unsustainable, or the sponsoring orgs'
priorities change.

For storage it either ends up with old stuff being force deleted, or
users accounts get finite quota applied as a means to force users to
delete stuff themselves past a certain point, or both, depending on
the usage patterns seen.

With regards,
Daniel
