Storage & Billing
Storage Quota
Your storage quota depends on the A8S plan selected for your workspace. The quota is shared across projects, deployments, databases, persistent volumes, and backups.
Current public plans are listed on the A8S pricing page :

Plan prices and included resources can change. Use the public pricing page as the source of truth before purchasing or upgrading.
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 against your current plan quota
- Review the per-project breakdown, with databases, PVCs, and backup files listed separately
Warnings & Limits
At 90% usage of your current plan quota, a warning notification is sent to your configured alert channel and displayed in the dashboard.
At 100% usage of your current plan quota, the following actions are paused until space is freed or your plan 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 plan or custom storage capacity you need
- Complete the purchase
Plan upgrades take effect immediately and unblock any paused operations.
For larger workspaces, choose Premium or contact the A8S team from the pricing page to request custom storage capacity.
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.
