An autoloaded option audit that found nothing

A monthly check that has failed twice in two years, reporting clean for the fourteenth consecutive month.

SELECT SUM(LENGTH(option_value)) AS bytes
FROM wp_options WHERE autoload IN ('yes', 'on');

-- 41,208 bytes. the check fails above 200 KB.
-- 2024-09  412 KB  ← the incident
-- 2025-04  288 KB  ← a different plugin
-- since:   under 60 KB every month

A check that has stopped failing is either a solved problem or a broken check, and the difference matters — this one was verified by temporarily adding a large option and confirming the failure. Writing down that a recurring problem stopped recurring is worth one paragraph and is the sort of entry nobody makes.
