tl;dr - my S3 storage costs were at $26/month more than I expected due to Longhorn (storage volume management for kubernetes) making over 5M s3_list_objects calls. Turning off that polling should fix it.

edit - the polling flag didn’t fix it. I updated the blog with a new approach from a github issue that blocks network access outside of backup hours.

    I made an edit to the blog. It looks like that approach didn’t work.

    Summary for those who want the tl;dr - I found a github issue where someone “solved” it by blocking network access to longhorn outside of the backup hours. I am now trying that approach with cron jobs to set and remove an egress policy to block access.

    Hopefully this will solve it.
