Non-primary branches hold 5× primary storage

What it is
Non-primary branches together hold roughly five times the storage of the primary branch.
Why it matters
The overwhelming majority of your storage bill is going to branches that are not production. That ratio almost always means abandoned branches rather than a deliberate choice.
How to fix it
List branches by size, confirm which are still in use, and delete the rest. Adding expiry to automatically-created branches keeps the ratio from rebuilding.
