Ask HN: Is Google Storage for GApps broken for you the past few hours?
I have a legacy personal Google Apps account, where one user account has 15GB of base storage plus 9GB of add-on storage (via various old promotions I think), so in total 24GB of storage.

That account has ~16 GB of stored data, so around 8GB free.

As of around an hour ago, when trying to edit documents in GDrive or GSheets, the account gets a "your storage is full" message making it impossible to do anything, and on Android clicking for more details shows 16GB used out of 15GB total (a wrong number).

Clicking on the message leads directly to a page showing indeed there's 8GB free.

Anyone else seeing something similar?

Yes, this is happening to me too. Last time I successfully edited a Google Sheet was this morning around 8 AM, and now (6 PM) it's broken. My "storage" page shows 18.86 GB of 28 GB used, and I have no idea what's going on.

Sorry I don't have a solution here, but at least we're not alone.

I deleted about 400 MB of files using the "Storage" page in the left sidebar of my Google Drive ( https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/quota ) and now I can edit my Sheet again. My "storage" page in settings (https://drive.google.com/settings/storage) still shows 18.86 GB of 28 GB used.

Honestly, I regret ever signing up for the product that is now "legacy G Suite". It's been a rough experience over the years and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to migrate from this product to a regular Google account. (I looked into this back when they were threatening to discontinue the product.)

It seems this has now been fixed (silently AFAICT).
