No one can tell you what you did wrong. You seem to have created a very large database for some reason.
The links you gave me refer to database optimization and gigabyte reduction, or what are these links?
How to figure out and reduce your database size.
Which link should I see first
Just go look at them both. One has steps to look at and one has info on what the error means.
VACUUM;
?
You can also check the dashboard database/tables tab and see if you see in large tables.
Large tables are more specifically in the editor table category?
?

How long have you had this instance? Are there other instances in the same ORG (they all share diskspace)? Have you been adding and deleting lots of instances in the same org?
Basically something is using alot of disk. You have to figure out what and reduce it or go to Pro if it is normal growth over time.

.
If you hover over that it should show you size for each project.

As you have them in the same organization they share the .5GB size limit.

So if you move one to another org you would half your usage.
To another organization
Yes
?

I've not done it. That looks correct
You may need to create an org, not sure.
I have created another organization, should I click the button and move it or whatever, it's the wrong button
?
I don't know, I've not done it.
How to transfer a database to another organization
Transfer your project to a different organization.
The screen you showed looks correct. I've not done it so I can't tell you the exact steps.

Transfer a project to another organization.
so I can bring it to the bar and when I move, I have to wait a few minutes to get it?

I just created a new org, hit cancel when it asked for creating a new instance. Then went to general settings of an existing instance, clicked transfer then selected an org and it transferred in seconds.
A project for another organization, but the previous ones have the same problem. See the same number of gigabytes


this is on the second one that I currently moved
Wait?
Did the new Org have less database usage?
I think the database count is based on average for the "billing" period so may not go down immediately on old one, but I've not seen much on that.
okey
When will my period end?
db
Probably 1 month or so from when you created it.

and why did it happen that there were many GB on the database
You will have to figure out why the individual databases are using that space.
This link I gave talks about some ways... https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/database-size#database-size
