Ah, that explains. We've now changed our policy, the amount we sell is from now on the softlimit instead of the hardlimit. In this case I've put the hardlimit 20GB above the softlimit. Makes a lot more sense this way.

One last question: can you tell me the logic which is used on old/deleted files when housekeeping starts? What will be cleared first?
