You didn't answer my question. I didn't ask how many days you packed to. I asked if you set pack-keep-old. I'm guessing from your response that you didn't. If you don't set pack-keep-old to false, then old blobs are kept around, just like the file-storage file, except that, rather than making copies, hard links are created. The second time you packed, the old links would be removed, freeing up the space taken by the old blobs.
