Manually Scaling Down Storage Space

Usage Notes

• To scale down storage, ensure the new storage space is at least 1.25 times more than the used space and rounded up.
• Scaling down storage does not interrupt your services, and you do not need to restart your instance.
• If your yearly/monthly instance is running out of storage, additional usage will be billed on a pay-per-use basis. To avoid these extra costs and maintain the benefits of your yearly/monthly subscription, you are advised to scale up storage.
