You have to fill out a load chart to fly a plane, they should have to fill out something like a storage chart to get a production allocation. What size are your objects? How many per unit of time and served entity? What is the lifetime of those objects? How is that lifetime managed?

If you agree to add a few months of development time and reduce future velocity to make sure these limits are enforced, sure. Usually adding storage costs about as much as 1 developer’s salary cost for what, an hour? A day?

It's not for saving storage. It's for making sure it will actually not overflow.

End number doesn't matter, what matters is developers thinking about how long data should be stored and what data should be stored.

Not doing that analysis and overprovisioning 4x will just cause disaster in 2 years instead of 6 months.

You missed the part where I said they are "notoriously bad at estimating". We really do suck at estimating everything... storage, work estimates, etc. Why can't we just say "it'll be done when it's done and I'll use ALL the storage until I'm done"?
