 * GoDaddy has a File Usage limit. Recently I maxed out the limit which crashes 
   my site. Ultimately I found that it was Docket Cache creating the files. Once
   I clicked the “Flush Object Cache” File Usage dropped from 500,000 to 80,000ish.
   It is slowly climbing again. 
   How can I set a limit? I can’t constantly monitor
   the file usage limits.

 * Hi there,
 * You may try enabling “Real-time File Limit Checking” at Configuration -> Storage
   Options.
 * Thanks.

 * Thanks for responding. It is now enabled.
 * And this will do what, besides monitor the limit?

 * Hi,
 * It will not create a new cache file when reaching the Cache File Limit. You can
   set the limit by selecting “Cache Files Limit” or place this constant DOCKET_CACHE_MAXFILE
   in your wp-config.php.

 * This seems to have solved it. I really appreciate your advice on this.
