Too much storage used?
Hey guys! I'm not very experienced with coding but I have a project going and it's just a simple 1 page website with an admin panel, almost not content at all. The actual databse is only 60mbs but it's using 0.73GB and I had to get on the premium plan.
I'm worried that at this rate I won't be able to even fit in the 10GB plan with such a simple website once I added content to it. Is this normal?
I can't even see how I could launch more than 1 project on this storage.

👋 the current storage indicator accounts for written data as well. So if you're updating 60MB over and over again it adds up because we save the history of the database. In development we recommend you turn down your History Retention (found in the project settings) to zero and then back up when you're in production and will need it. At zero days retention your storage usage should go back to expected values.
Also we're changing this aspect of our storage pricing soon, it's confusing and I'm sorry for that.

Yeah I had to get the paid plan until I understood that and my database is only 0.03gb 😆 all good tho.
