Proving & sync load is no joke.
Aztec MAJORLY uses the DISK/CPU, which handles it smoothly — no throttling, no lag.

Expect ~25-40 GB/day usage when synced and active. (Unlimited or Mega plan fits)

---TAKEAWAY: ---
🧱 Node failing to prove
Solution: Updated Docker + NVIDIA drivers and re-pulled container image

🧊 Node logs flooding with libp2p errors
Resolved by restarting Docker and adjusting peer limits

📌 If you're running a prover:
✅ Watch disk I/O       ✅ Use fast NVMe SSDs
✅ Keep logs clean     ✅ Monitor ports + peers
✅ Stay on latest image
