With Vultr's upcoming price hike, I'm planning to migrate this instance storage bucket to a more affordable alternative. Unfortunately, it's rather large, (over 700 GB in thumbnails), so it's going to take a while to transfer.

Long story short: the bot will be not be posting new content for a couple of days - probably about a week.

All migrations and updates have completed. The server is now all up to date again, and the bot is playing catch up.

Small update

Image showing statistics of the file transfer, currently at 19 million checks after 4 days, 17 hours

So it's been over 4 days of file transferring. There are about 13.6 million files in the source buckets, and yesterday we passed 14 million file checks.
So I'm guessing that means it needs to do multiple checks per file. I'm hoping it's 2 checks per file, meaning the process is over half way.
The good news that most of the data has been transferred over (source shows 727GB used, destination shows 713 GB).
The bad news is that due to how the files are structured, it's incredibly hard for the sync process to estimate which files it still has to move over, so it does need to check them all one-by-one.

Ironically, me posting this image above would mean there's 1 file more that has to be synced over. But I'm willing to let it be a casualty of this war ;)
