Disk quota exceeded error hours after resizing
Hello, yesterday I created a network volume to which I uploaded a compresssed archive, forgetting I need double the space to extract it. Today, a few hours ago I resized the archive to get extra space. Even after retrying on multiple pods I still get the error "Disk quota exceeded" after filling up the original size. I am wondering how long it should take for the size to be updated?
Update: Even after creating a new network storage with enough space (so 60 gb) it says "Disk quota exceeded" at 30gb usage. I am at a bit of a loss on what to do.

Our reliability team ran diagnostics on your network volume and, while you only see ~11 GB via du, the backend reports a “size” of 56 GB and a “real size” of 112 GB due to how files and metadata are stored. This exceeds your 60 GB quota and is triggering the error.
To resolve this, you can either:...

Yes. Also volume usage is at 100% and container usage is at basically 0.

du -lh /workspace returns 11 gb.
There are no hidden files.
There are just a lot of small files (~under 2 mil), but that shouldnt affect disk usage?

To resolve this, you can either:
1. Increase your volume size to at least 120 GB to cover the actual storage usage, or
2. Remove any unneeded files from the volume before extraction.
