Thanos receiver keeps growing

[Ramshield]

Thanos, Prometheus and Golang version used:
Thanos version 0.27.0
Prometheus version 2.35.0

Object Storage Provider:
minio s3

What happened:
Currently we run thanos receiver, query compactor and storagegateway.
We have 6 prometheus with a remote rule writing to thanos.
But our thanos receiver keeps growing. In a week the persistent volume has grown by 80Gb.
We see the same growth in our s3 minio backend.

What you expected to happen:
Thanos receiver not to be this big.

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
Not sure, but we installed Thanos via helm, version 10.5.5:

thanos: 
  existingObjstoreSecret: thanos-objstore-secret
 
  global:
    imageRegistry: ourharbor

  image:
    tag: v0.27.0
    repository: monitoring/thanos 

  query:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: false
      hostname: querier.example.com
      ingressClassName: nginx 

  queryFrontend:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: true
      hostname: thanos-query-frontend.example.com
      ingressClassName: nginx 

  bucketweb:
    enabled: false
    ingress:
      enabled: false
      hostname: thanos-bucketweb.example.com
      ingressClassName: nginx 

  storegateway:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: false
      hostname: thanos-store.example.com
      ingressClassName: nginx 

  receive:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: true
      hostname: thanos-receive.example.com
      ingressClassName: nginx

    persistence:
      enabled: true
      size: 150Gi

  compactor:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: true
      hostname: thanos-compactor.example.com
      ingressClassName: nginx
    persistence:
      enabled: true
      size: 100Gi

Full logs to relevant components:
no errors are logged in thanos receiver.

Anything else we need to know:
We run this on a Kubernetes Rancher environment.

Hi, is this a new setup or has the receiver started to grow unexpectedly on an existing setup?

I'm not very familiar with the Helm chart, but could you maybe provide all the parameters you are running your receiver with?

This is a new setup.

All parameters I deployed Helm with are already given, so nothing special at all.

Any idea @matej-g ? Thanks!

As you can see, we have blocks being created every 2 hours:
