Data amount Missmatch on the Neon.tech dashboard

Hey everyone! While developing my projects I suddenly saw the amount of data used on neon sky rocket up after adding 2 more databases for my recent project. I'm now up to 6 databases on one branch in one project on the free plan. If I remember correctly under billing my "Storage" was previously at 100/500 MiB , then went up to 200 and is now at 459 MiB, so almost at the limit. All of the DBs have around 8 to 10 tables, with only one of them being really actively used, it maybe has a couple hundred records max. Naturally I wondered where all of that data was coming from, so I went into dbeaver and ran SELECT pg_size_pretty( pg_database_size('dbname')); added the result (in KB) up and converted /0.96... to KiB and /1000 to MiB. --> This got me a total of around 43 MiB (rounded down so probably its whats displayed on neon/10) All of the Tables had around 7500 KB, no matter whethere they were basically empty or not, meaning I think the data amount is mostly just congfiguration stuff, migrations, tables, users, the actual db... Does anyone know what is happening here? Are my calculations wrong? Do I missunderstand the dashboard, what exactly doest the billing information track? Is setting up a database really taking up that much space thats not accounted for by dbeaver? Thanks for everyone that has a look at this, love neon and wanna keep using it, but breaking out of the free tier would be a bit annoying for that
