Description

  • p5.js version: web editor
  • Web browser and version: Safari Version 15.6.1
  • Operating System: MacOSX 10.15.7

When I attempt to upload a file to a new or existing sketch, I receive the following response:

“Error: You cannot upload any more files. You have reached the total size limit of 250 MB. If you would like to upload more, please remove the ones you aren’t using anymore by in your assets.”

My account shows a total asset size of 344.86 MB, exceeding the 250 MB limit. However, after deleting a number of files, my calculations result in a total asset size of only 143 MB. I can't figure out this discrepancy that has persisted for several months. Thanks in advance for your help.

Research direction

Start with the web editor's upload flow and the linked assets page, then reproduce the mismatch between the displayed total and the sizes of remaining files. Trace where the 250 MB limit and asset total are calculated. Done means the displayed total matches the actual assets and upload behavior consistently reflects the limit.
