Storage & Billing
Storage Quota
Every Autonomous account includes 2 GiB of platform storage shared across all projects.
Storage is consumed by:
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| Databases | Data stored in deployed PostgreSQL, MySQL, or MongoDB instances |
| PersistentVolumeClaims | Storage attached to application deployments |
| Database Backups | Compressed backup snapshots stored on platform storage |
Storage usage is visible in real time from the Storage section of your dashboard, with a per-project breakdown.
Monitoring Usage
- Open your Dashboard
- Navigate to the Storage section
- View total usage and a breakdown per project — databases, PVCs, and backup files listed separately
Warnings & Limits
At 90% usage, a warning notification is sent to your configured alert channel and displayed in the dashboard.
At 100% usage, the following actions are paused until space is freed or storage is upgraded:
- New deployments
- Database provisioning
- Backup creation
A clear error message is shown explaining the reason for any blocked action.
Freeing Up Storage
To reclaim space without upgrading:
- Delete old backups — remove database snapshots from the Backups section
- Remove unused deployments — stop and delete services that are no longer needed
- Delete unused databases — remove databases and their associated PVCs from the Database tab
Upgrading Storage
To increase your storage limit:
- Navigate to Plan & Billing in your account settings
- Select the additional storage tier you need
- Complete the purchase
Storage upgrades take effect immediately and unblock any paused operations.
Admin Storage Management
Platform administrators can manage storage across all users from the Admin Panel:
- View storage usage per user
- Adjust individual storage quotas
- Review per-project usage breakdowns
- Remove unused resources on behalf of users
Admins can increase a user’s quota without requiring the user to purchase an upgrade — useful for organization-managed deployments.
