I am currently working on deploying my own pruned node on a VPS and need to decide how much storage to assign to it. It’s nothing permanent; the storage is easily expanded as needed; however, I don’t want to do that every couple of days.

I think the last time I checked it, which was pretty recently, it was about 80 gigabytes, and it does not expand super quickly. I want to say it expands by like 30 megabytes or something like that per day.
Edit: The full blockchain expands by about 216 megabytes per day and you only have to store one eighth of that in pruned mode which would mean 27 megabytes per day. That’s with 300 kilobyte blocks which most times we don’t currently have so it’s probably actually slightly less.
Edit 2: issuing
du -hs .bitmonero/on my pruned mode returns83G .bitmonero/Do keep in mind that the entire blockchain must be downloaded in order to be verified. So it downloads the full 200 gigs or whatever the blockchain currently is, but it only saves 83 of that to the disk.
