I've been trying to figure out why we're burning through credits quickly. I noticed that notebook storage is very large and consuming lots of credits but I'm not sure why. The total combined size of my notebooks is quite small (<20 mb), but I'm seeing over 95 GB of storage in the "Notebook Storage Report".

I have a scheduled Notebook that backs up several feature services and saves them as file GDBs in my home folder. Do these count toward Notebook storage? I was under the impression they would consume credits at the normal file storage rate.

I have a scheduled notebook that does the same thing and my notebook storage shows up as nothing.  Is there any chance you're writing temporary data to one of the notebook folders, like "/tmp" (I think it's /tmp, maybe /temp?)  I believe temp data will get cleaned up automatically, but not immediately.

Thanks for the reply, MobiusSnake. Your suggestion is basically what was happening, but not a temp folder. The script is saving the zipped GDBs to a folder within the workspace folder in addition to saving a copy to a 'normal' folder.

I still need to dig into the script to figure out why it is doing that. After deleting the copies from the workspace folder, my credit usage plummeted.
