 The amount of storage space allocated for trace events matching tail sampling policies. Caution: Setting this limit higher than the allowed space may cause APM Server to become unhealthy.
 
-If the configured storage limit is insufficient, it logs "configured storage limit reached". The event will bypass sampling and will always be indexed when storage limit is reached.
+A value of `0GB` (or equivalent) does not set a concrete limit, but rather allows the APM Server to align its disk usage with the disk size. APM server uses up to 80% of the disk size limit on the disk where the local tail-based sampling database is located. The last 20% of disk will not be used by APM Server. It is the recommended value as it automatically scales with the disk size.
