If you are concerned about consuming space, keep in mind this is 500 versions, but not 500 copies of the file, only changed portions of the file. Also, using Office Online saves the file frequently and drives up the version count, as does co-authoring. Then additionally, OneDrive only syncs the currently copy to devices.

not at all. It keeps a full copy for each EDIT. Like 1 letter edit, new full copy.
