I have no idea what promo space is. :/ When I clicked the link you provided, though, it does say, "Your quota was decreased to 1 TB. Yesterday 11:36 PM." It gives no further details.
I thought the paid plan was 1TB to begin with? So I'm not sure how much I lost, or what it was from. The last time I added any space to my account was when I switched to the paid plan last June.
EDIT, ah, wait! I looked under "Plan" for my account. It says there was a 25GB "HP promotion" for "HP + Dropbox" 4/28/2017 and it's expired. I don't quite recall what that was but that must be it.
Thank you!

What's the default space on Dropbox? because suddenly mine is not sync anymore as apparently it's full but I only have 3.25GB on it! I'm sure it used to be 10GB of free space?

It looks to me that it is time to move to Google Drive.
Mine got suddenly reduced for no reason and now it can't sync my documents. No worries but unfortunately for Dropbox there are many easy alternatives

There's always a reason and if you follow Mark's information above, you'll likely see what the reduction was from. It was likely a space promotion that expired, either from a mobile device or HP, Dell, etc.
