+
+You must [actively allocate or assign your staked and delegated SQT to certain projects](../stake.md#allocating-stake) you run in order to receive rewards. Unallocated SQT is essentially wasted.
+
+We suggest you check this page at the start of each Era, and make sure you are keeping on top to maximise allocated SQT, and also allocate SQT to more profitable projects (e.g. ones with a higer APY). [Find out how here](../stake.md#allocating-stake).

 To upgrade a Node Operator service, you will need to update the version of the image used in the docker-compose file. This can be done by updating the image field in the service definition to the new version you want to use.

+We highly recommend that you enable this feature
+
+:::
+
+In your Node Operator Admin App and in the Config section there is a setting called "Auto Reduce Over Allocation", we highly recommend that you enable it.
+
+If enabled, in the event of when you are overallocated, then your allocaton will automaticaly evenly reduce across all of your projects until you are no longer over allocated
+- Allocation reduction will be by an even percent. For example, each project will decrease by 10% of it's initial allocation.
+- Allocation will not be reduced below 1 SQT on any single project
+- If you have 0 projects then it will un-allocate all SQT

+It runs immediately at the start of the next era when delegation changes take effect.

 ## How much SQT should you Stake
 
 There are multiple reasons why Node Operators should consider staking more SQT or attracting more Delegation.
