`Seedvault Backup` always fails with `Backup quota exceeded`

Question

`Seedvault Backup` always fails with `Backup quota exceeded`

keks24 opened this issue 10 months ago · comments

Hello!

I am using Seedvault Backup to backup my Apps and Harmonic is the only one, that fails with the error:

Backup quota exceeded

Even after activating Unlimited app quota, it still fails.

I guessed, that it may be correlated to high User data and Cache, but it seems to be not:

Before	After

It still fails after removing all User data and Cache:

According to this comment, the quota is 25MB, so it should have worked after cleaning all files.

Versions:
OS: LineageOS 20-20230924-NIGHTLY-lemonade
OS build: lineage_lemonade-userdebug 13 TQ3A.230805.001 cb0b0dac59
Seedvault Backup: 13-3.3
Harmonic: 1.10

-Ramon

PS: The User data is indefinitely growing; I need to clear it every three months or so.

I know Harmonic can have quite high data usage but I never quite understood why. We cache the API responses for comments and such but with a hard maximum of 100 stories. I inspected my own device now and I had 500kb of SharedPreferences file but 9MB in App Data - a big differences but none crazy.

I've tried to reproduce this issue on an emulator, but backups work fine for me. Can you collect logs when running backup? adb logcat | grep -i backup should have something like this:

I have excluded all Apps in Seedvault Backup, except for com.simon.harmonichackernews, executed a backup and saved a log file.

The backup in general still fails, but for some reason - maybe due to some reboots in the meantime - I could backup the App (for) now:

logcat_seedvault_backup.txt

Will see at which point the backup will fail again. User data and Cache are growing again:

Just an update to the User data and Cache. The former jumped up to 77MB today:

Another update.

Since yesterday, User data is at 80.95MB and Cache at 40.10MB.

Backups are failing again.

It may be worth mentioning my settings, in order to replicate this weird behaviour:
