Ah, I see. What you want is to add an enhancement unrelated to the problem. That’s your call of course.

… for this one job’s data I suppose. Does “in addition” mean potentially warning about both limits?

needs expansion because a simple `total` sounds too much like the limit that the backend reports.
There actually seems to be some feature talk discussing what might be per-backup-job use quota.
One interpretation got even more active, removing backup versions to stay within assigned quota.
There were also some with shared drive attached to personal, and the wrong quota being applied.
Before I detail this or start mentioning (waking?) issues, is this now more in line with the proposal?
