This is silly. The email in the screenshot shows the Google Workspace Enterprise Standard package, which is clearly documented as 5 TB/user limit.
If the complaint is that at some point in the past it was unlimited and Google switched it to have limits, then we can talk about that (and we have in numerous other threads over the last 2+ years).

- aveao 2y agoshe* When I first signed up (years ago, even before "Google Workspace Enterprise Standard", I got further grandfathered in from a GSuite plan) they were promising unlimited storage. I don't have any ready proof for this (except screenshots of gdrive etc saying I have unlimited data), but if I had a 5TB limit this whole time, I clearly wouldn't be able to upload 400TB to gdrive through mostly conventional means. They changed from unlimited to 5TB/seat years ago (but they rolled out the enforcement very gradually: I heard that several friends got hit by this last year) and I was given notification to cut down my use 2 months ago (with threats of making it read-only), but one does not simply go from 400TB to 5TB. I wanted to try my chances on it staying read-only and google stopping nagging me about it. Chances were not in my favor, and the read-only deadline was yesterday, and it changed instead to "we'll delete all your data in a month". I'm not complaining (if anything I'm happy that I got a mad deal on storage for years), but it is indeed a matter of "unlimited" does not mean "unlimited forever".
