I can increase the disk space, but I do not think a user needs more than 20GB of caches.
# du -h -d 1 /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/
624K /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/vendor
12K /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/copy
19G /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/ipv4
2.0G /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/ipv6
21G /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/
Some of the .json files in these directories seem to be over ten years old:
# find /space/home/osrt-metrics/.cache/openSUSE-release-tools/metrics-access/ -name '*.json' -type f|grep -Po '20\d\d'|sort -u

Please do some cleaning up and re-open this ticket should you still require more disk space.

These JSON files in .cache directory are not really cache files. They consist intermediary data parsed from access logs to aggregate the numbers exposed at metrics.o.o. The parsing step is relatively time consuming. I think it is good to keep that data somewhere. The idea here is to be able to modify the aggregation procedure without repeating the parsing step.
Having said that, I think we could move the older files somewhere (e.g. backup.o.o.) but we should not just delete them.

Thanks for elaborating - I see, it would probably be good to store them in a more appropriate location in this case - because I can definitely see another administrator deleting old stuff in "cache" directories to free up disk space.
I followed your request and set the disk size to 60GB.
