I just went through the setup process for a Tor Cloud instance in
us-east-1 (Virginia) without finding the 1024 GB of storage you say is
the new default value. Under "Storage" on the "Review Instance
Launch"-page, I see storage is set to 4 GB. Could you please go
through the setup process again and see if you can figure out where
this value was set?

Thanks!
