And I'm back...
Yes, due to a technical issue the emails were incorrectly sent. There are 2 near-quota programs that should only email users +90% of quota, it seems since probably around yesterday, that its been running incorrectly and doubled the amount of used bytes... so users that are 40-50% of quota are appearing as 80-100% of quota.
We'll make the change and no further users should receive this email incorrectly after the weekend.
(I'll try and get it stopped and reconfigured sooner than that of-course, but I just give that timeframe as that's the latest I expect all the updates to take to apply.)
Many thanks for highlighting here and saving other users the pain!

Same here, I'm using 47% of my reserved space and got a similar warning email. What is this, a mistake perhaps?
