Does pictrs cache just thumbnails or full size images from federated instances? (futurology.today)

We've noticed an increased amount of storage being used for images, and many of them appear to be full-sized images. Is this documented anywhere?

It generates full size images if I'm not mistaken. At least in my instance, that's the case. Using WEBP and setting resolution limits with pictrs helps reduce the storage costs but this applies to all of your images. It isn't consistent though. Sometimes it doesn't generate these images, sometimes it does.
