Completely anecdotal, but I went from 50B to 2B per point using the compression feature. Mind you this is for slow moving sensor data collected at regular 1 second intervals. Prior to the compression feature, I had the same complaint. Timescale strongly advocated for using ZFS disk compression if compression was really required. Requiring ZFS disk compression wasn't feasible for me.
