Help, I've exceeded my 20GB Bandwith

Yesterday, i got an email that my shared link has been banned because it generated too much traffic.

Its generated 20.06 bandwith instead of 20 bandwith its allowed.

Then, i went to delete some of my files from there. Infact most of my files in a bid to reduce the traffic.

But it still remained banned.

Kindly help me out here.

Please how can i lift the ban.

I'll look forward to your answers.

Thank you.

    The ban is automatically removed usually after 24 hours on a first infringement. Or you can pay to upgrade and have it removed earlier. 

     

    If you've had previous bans, however, each one takes longer to clear.
