Setting quota is not respected, gets reset after logging in (S3 storage)

[zmberber]

The Basics

• Nextcloud Server version:
  • 31.0.4
• Operating system and version:
  • NixOS 24.11
• Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?
  • No
• When did this problem seem to first start?
  • When I switched to s3 storage
• Installation method
  • nixpkgs module

Summary of the issue you are facing:

• I have a similar problem to this: [Bug]: quota S3 storage wrong WITH Q&D FIX! · Issue #34422 · nextcloud/server · GitHub
• Also mentioned here: BUG: trouble setting quota for user Nextcloud
• Whatever quota I set, once I log out again and log in again, the quota gets reset to some old “stuck” value (not the default quota, but a different value that previously had been a default quota)
• occ user:info reflects this
• This seems to have only happened once I switched to s3 storage
• This doesn’t happen with other users that I was able to try out, but they don’t have any data

Steps to reproduce

• Change quota
• Log out
• Log in
• Quota is back to the old value

Is there any way around this? I don’t really get the quick and dirty fix that is described in the posts I linked above, maybe I’ll try it if I get it. Is there some other way to try to deal with this problem? Maybe reset something? Otherwise I will also try to go away from S3.

it turned out to actually be a problem with a plugin oidc_login, where if you set a default quota, you apparently cannot change the quota within the webinterface, but only through the oidc user attribute quota. i had removed in config.php whatever enabled this behaviour but it didn’t stop, i was able to manually disable it by setting oidc_login_default_quota to 0 in config.php, which actively disables the feature. then it worked again. i wonder where this value was saved in the database, because if it is not set in config.php, it must be set as a value somewhere else.

it seems like it had nothing to do with s3, i was just influenced by other github issues
