makes sense to me - although it probably makes more sense to separate the 2 concepts into separate discussions?

tweaking storage units too many times independently creates complexity for people trying to read change from the contracts. it's a lot simpler if we make one big change and then do nothing for the rest of the year.

ahhh - in that case (as someone on the hook to pay for 11 storage unit renewals) it feels pretty reasonable to me last question - how is the team thinking about "renewal batching" over time? Personally, I'd rather pay like I do for amazon prime in one big purchase every january but obv i bought them at diff times

no clean solution for that yet. im sure we can come up with something, but we have higher priorities right now with hub sync

totally (and appreciate the hub sync effort) Since I hate complaints w/o proposed solutions, my idea is to create a prorated "top up" payment mechanism in JAN to align yearly storage timeline Ex. Buy 1 unit JAN 2024 and more in AUG 2024, in JAN 2025 pay for 1 year plus 4/12 months to align both to Jan 2026 renewal
