    I just logged in after sleeping on this. Haha you are right. And I just found in the admin console where it says, the quota refreshes every 8 hours. Seems crazy it takes that long to update your usage.

      If you are on a Team account as ridiculous as it sounds it can take a few hours to update. 

       

      If it doesnt work after that I'd suggest contacting support
