Question Storage usage keeps increasing with no repositories or active projects

    Good morning,

    I have a ticket open with support but I thought I'd ask in here as well, just in case I'm missing something obvious. I created an organization on Sept 3rd and a test repository which I deleted about a week ago. Even so the CLD-BLD-STO usage has been steadily increasing since then, although the organization has no repositories and only archived projects (which I understood from here, don't count towards storage). The rate it's increasing at is ~1GB-hour a day.

    There is no build automation as the organization has no active projects.

    Any idea what could be increasing my usage? I'm looking at this rate at 30GB-hour this month for no obvious reason.

    The situation was the following:

    • You had a repository that was deleted. We still keep the databases for one week after a repo deletion (so it can be recovered).
    • This dashboard does not show the GB used in your billing cycle. This dashboard shows how the GB/hours. It explains why you are seeing a growing number even if the storage value for your repo was static.
    • The DevOps free tier is 5GB/hour = 5GB * 24 hours* 30 days = 3600 GB a month to spend. eg: you could potentially upload 180GB in 2 hours. Then delete the changeset and you won't be charged that month.

    I understand that the GB/hour metric can be very confusing. Especially while your storage is static, this metric is still growing during the month. But at least we have an explanation about what happened.

    Based on the GB/hour metric, is it fair to assume that one gets billed for exceeding the 5 GB quota in a single hour - rather than having a repo that's 5GB+?

    You get billed at the end of the month, checking if you have exceeded the 3720 GB in a month (5GB/hour*24hour/day*31 days).

    So:
    * You can have a repo that is 5GB+ (if you delete changesets or the whole repo before surpassing that limit). For example, you could upload a 10GB repo, leave it half a month, and won't surpass that 3720GB/month = 10GB*24*15 days= 3600.
    * You could exceed that 5GB in a single hour, again uploading a 10GB repo in one hour and delete changeset/repository before exceeding the limit (reminder that the repo stays for a week when deleted, to be able to be recovered). For example, upload a 10GB changeset and delete it after a day, would consume 10GB*24 = 240GB/month, way under the monthly limit.
