Questions about Auto scaling
Hey! I am on a pro plan. In docs I see the following:

Paid plan behavior#
Projects on the Pro Plan and higher have auto-scaling disks.
Disk size expands automatically when the database reaches 90% of the allocated disk size. The disk is expanded to be 50% larger (for example, 8 GB -> 12 GB). Auto-scaling can only take place once every 6 hours. If within those 6 hours you reach 95% of the disk space, your project will enter read-only mode.
The automatic resize operation will add an additional 50% capped to a maximum of 200 GB. If 50% of your current usage is more than 200 GB then only 200 GB will be added to your disk (for example a size of 1500 GB will resize to 1700 GB).
Disk size can also be manually expanded on the Database settings page. The maximum disk size for the Pro/Team Plan is 60 TB. If you need more than this, contact us to learn more about the Enterprise Plan.
You may want to import a lot of data into your database which requires multiple disk expansions. for example, uploading more than 1.5x the current size of your database storage will put your database into read-only mode. If so, it is highly recommended you increase the disk size manually on the Database settings page.
Due to restrictions on the underlying cloud provider, disk expansions can occur only once every six hours. During the six hour cool down window, the disk cannot be resized again.
But I can't actually adjust my disk size manually. It asks me to disable the spend cap. Why is that?

If you have the spend cap on I would not think the disk would scale at all. The spend cap limits to you what the $25 plan comes with.
@garyaustin I am on the pro plan. I thought I could scale the disk size accordingly?
If your spend cap allows it.
It costs money to scale the disk.
If you have the cap on it is locked at 8GB
At least that is the way I believe it works and makes sense as more disk costs more. I don't have Pro so can't say 100%
