It looks a common problem.

atop uses /var/run/atop.acct (by default) to record accounting data about processes. Depending on system behaviour it may grow relatievely slow, or quite fast [1] (see screenshot [2]).

Although there is an opinion that accounting file should be rewritten daily I don't think it's a good idea, since in that case you loose some data that might be needed for debugging.

Anyway, the problem doesn't seems related to atop itself, but to the way it was started.

Reassigning to fuel-library team to let them fix puppet manifests.
