Cast iron Dutch oven use

I am cooking a chili with a new cast iron Dutch oven this afternoon. I seasoned it this morning, so hopefully it is good to go.
My question: Since there will clearly be leftovers, should I store the cast iron pot in the refrigerator with the chili in it like I do with most normal pots? I am not sure if the moisture level in the refrigerator might cause it to rust.

I would say dont do it, way easier to just put them in a tupperware and they will keep longer.

Tupperware, takes up less room, and easier to clean after.

NEVER EVER EVER store anything with tomato in a cast iron pot. Further more your pot better be very seasoned if you even plan on using tomato in it or be prepared to have a reaction to the tomato and the chili will taste like metal and even discolor a bit.
ETA:
If you dont use tomato in your chili its not as bad but you still want to store it in something else and re-season your cast iron pot.
