Hey thejanman, welcome to our Community!
Referral space is indeed permanent, and does not get removed from your available quota, so let's see what we can find out.
Where did you initially see that your space was down to 2 GB?
If you go to your account settings here, how much space does it report?
If it's a different amount, is it possible that you have a second free account with just 2 GB instead?
Let me know what you find.

Did you redeem a different promotion in the past perhaps which granted you with more quota?

My space seems reduced to 2GB on some pages and in a warning mail.
On the https://www.dropbox.com/manage/subscriptions/dropbox-single-seat
on the other hand it seems to have right (almost 8GB) amount.
