Description René Fabel 2020-09-22 01:46:10 PDT 
I currently developing an WebApp (PWA) and found an issuse with the Indexed DB API.

Issue: prompt "ask for more storage limit"
I implemented an recording => store data to indexeddb => upload data to backend => remove data from indexed DB process in my web app.
After this process is running for some minutes (about 5-10 recordings about 20mb) the browser continously prompt/ask the user for more storage space about 1.3GB/1.6/...
The current used space in indexed db is less than 40MB. Data only stored temporarly.

I would expect that
- the user only gets prompted when the browser is near this 1.3/1.6 GB limits.
- I develop an long running application where the user is not always on the screen. It would be nice to have an option to set limits for webapps in the browser itself, and not prompt users while the app is running.
