Hi, you should expect that the size can vary for some checkpoints, even if the change rate is constant. Some checkpoints will upload compacted replacements for previous checkpoints to prevent that the checkpoint history will grow without bounds. Whenever that happens, the checkpoint does some „extra work“ by re-uploading compacted/merged versions of previous deltas.
