Why might the license information widget show a value lower than the disk quota?

The reasoning behind the choice indicating that the license information widget might show a value lower than the disk quota due to it including only raw logs uploaded within one day holds true because the widget is designed to provide a snapshot of current data usage relative to the active log retention policies.

In FortiAnalyzer, the logs that are counted for licensing and quota purposes can be influenced by the timeframe in which the logs are collected and retained. If the license information widget is only displaying the raw logs that have been uploaded within a specific, limited time frame (in this case, the past day), it may not account for the full capacity of logs that could be stored under the given disk quota. This would create a scenario where the displayed value is lower than the actual disk quota, especially if historical data is retained but not factored into the immediate calculations exhibited in the widget.

Thus, while the total disk quota represents the maximum storage capacity available for logs, the widget's display reflects only a subset of that data, specifically focusing on recent uploads, not the total potential usage over an extended period. This distinction helps users understand temporary log usage patterns versus total storage resources available.
