Maybe as a stopgap, you can try cleaning up the auto-generated variants (alternate-size thumbnails) that pict-rs has stored? Might get you under whatever threshold was tripped while supports works out the main issue.

: Queue a cleanup for generated variants of uploaded images.`If any of the cleaned variants are fetched again, they will be re-generated.
My instance is fairly conservative with media uploads and cached thumbnails, but it shaved off a few gigs that had accumulated over 6-7 months. Heads up that the call to that endpoint will return immediately as it just queues the job in pictrs.
Unfortunately I already tried deleting some backups I had in there. After 10Gb freed, it still gave me the same issue. So I think it's some bug on their end.
Ah, gotcha. Definitely a more comprehensive "them" problem than I was imagining. Hope they get ya sorted.
