After 30 days, IIRC. That's not helpful if you're trying to manage quota now, and certainly isn't an excuse for the truly astonishingly bad UX around the trash bin.

Objects as in individual files. It does not show you which folders are, in aggregate, consuming large amounts of storage. As a result this is utterly useless unless your quota is taken up by a few large objects. I legitimately have no idea what use case they thought they were addressing when they built that view.

I think the UX around the trash bin is pretty good and I've always found the quota pane useful.
