Andre, Sorry this got lost in the mail pile. Your assumptions are correct and that is the anticipated behavior. Has this been a reproducible and/or persistent issue (the lack of archiving causes disk consumption to grow unbounded)? If so, any level of context you can provide to the flow such as extensions may help to dive in a bit more.
Thanks!
