Storage limit reached, but db is half of max storage
So i have reached max storage on the free plan with my db only being 259.48MB, i have also set backup storage to be 0. So i dont understand why i'm having this problem

Hi @ashrey I'm checking with the team on this.

I still see the same issue up to this day. Does this affect the usage, or is it just a visual bug?
Update: it fixed itself

It likely resolved on its own due to history falling out of your restore window. Neon keeps 24 hours of database change history to support instant restore. https://neon.tech/docs/manage/projects#configure-your-restore-window
Neon
Manage projects - Neon Docs
With Neon, everything starts with the project. It is the top level object in the Neon object hierarchy. A project can hold as many branches, databases, and roles as your application or workflow needs....

yeah could be it, thanks! I reduced it to 1h, most likely why it went down
I think it would be better UX if the storage usage is showing what actually was used, e.g. the restore window
don't want to come across entitled or something, I'm using the free tier. Just some feedback :)

Thank you for the feedback. We'll be making some improvements here in the near future.
