Object version limitation settings
Objects with many versions can cause DU when the objects are accessed by foreground or background operations. With object version limitation settings, it is possible to prevent DU.
When object version limitation settings are enabled, a PUT to an object with more than 50000 versions in a bucket with versioning enabled returns 403 Forbidden. All other operations continue to work as normal while PUT requests remain forbidden.
 | NOTE: The limit is enforced (PUT request rejected with 403) only on new installations. Whereas during upgrade, only alerts are sent.
