What happens when you use all of your steam cloud save space?

When I'm playing, I like to quick-save a lot!

Recently I've started playing a game that generates a new save file each time I hit the quick-save key and thus I've accumulated a large amount of save files.

This is no problem for my hard-drive since I have the space to spare but at this rate I'll end up using all of my steam cloud save space.

What happens when you use up all your space?
Do the old saves get deleted from the cloud to make space for the new saves or does Steam simply stop backing up saves to the cloud?

By the looks of it, it's per game, and you can follow the steps here to see how much you've used up and how much you have left.

Having a read here it seams that when it's full - its full and nothing gets deleted ...

Since your hard can support it (and to be honest save files aren't that large) I'd disable Cloud Save for that game.

So I contacted Steam Support and asked the same question.
Here's their reply:

When cloud storage is full, Steam will no longer be able to add new files.
