Hi Atlassian team, @Ben 

We would like to request your Support Team's help, since we are experiencing the same issue related to Garbage Collector not running automatically.

We have rewritten our Git history and reduced its size. However when pushing to remote, the size hasn't changed yet.

Could you run garbage collection and recalculate the repo size on your end?

Please can you inform us what can we do in order to speed up the GC operation?

Shall you need further information in order to identify the proper repositories, please don't hesistate to contact me directly.

Awaiting your kind reply.

Cheers
MS

Hi @Marco Silini 

Welcome to the community!

Please contact support via Atlassian Support portal. If it is inaccessible for you due to your subscription plan, please let me know so I can notify Atlassian team here.
