I have on-prem SQLserver having ~900GB space DB's Size
My RDS DB instance size in AWS was 6500GB DB is postgres for cloud AWS.
I am getting alerts messages Finished applying autoscaling-initiated modification to allocated storage.
So increased instance to 7200GB
But again getting error message like **Storage size 7199 GB is approaching the maximum storage threshold 7200 GB. Increase the maximum storage threshold**
how to troubleshoot my issue.
Where my remaining space was leftover
Thanks

I have a single Postgres instance on RDS that in the past I increased the storage capacity from 100gb to 200gb, in this occasion I increased the storage autoscaling limit to 300gb.
Now I need to increase it to 400gb, but I am receiving the error:
"The allocated storage value should be less than the maximum storage threshold of 300 when storage autoscaling is enabled."
But on the database modify the interface, I don't see any option to increase the autoscaling threshold anymore.
My Postgres is running on version 11.8, which is deprecated on RDS. Does it influence?
I expected the autoscaling option to be on the AWS RDS modify panel.
I am trying to launch 210 instances of type p2.xlarge. Earlier I am hitting instance limit which I have increased now to 300 but now I am getting 'Client.VolumeLimitExceeded: Volume limit exceeded' error. Can you please help to resolve this issue? Any one knows the
What is Volume limit?
What should I request to increase inorder to run 210 instance (p2.xlarge) and aviod this error.
Your error means: Client.VolumeLimitExceeded: The limit on the number of EBS volumes or total storage was exceeded. Decrease usage or request an increase in your limits.
The AWS Limits page for EBS lists the default limit being 5,000 EBS volumes and 10,000 EBS snapshots. Total storage limit is 20 TB per type (gp2, io12, st1, sc1). Make sure that this is not your issue.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Limits
To request an increase for EBS go to Volume List Increase Request. On the same page your can change the Limit Type for other limit increases.
I would open a support case with Amazon support and ask them to review your requirements to make sure that all your limits are managed for this usage case instead of hitting one limit after the other. Amazon will definitely help you.
The default EBS limits are: Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) Limits
It is the number of EBS volumes an account can use. You have a bigger problem if you are launching 210 p2.xlarge instances. You will hit various resource limits. You may need to request increase in limits for those resources.
Delete unattached/unused EBS volumes in your account
Check your EBS limits in: Amazon EC2 Service Limits
Calculate the number of volumes you will be using for each instance (Check your AMI)
Request for more EBS volume limit.
Im Currently using AWS RDS on my system, and my storage is too big.
And then i house keeping them and delete about 200 TB.
But in my billing the storage didnt decrease at all.
How can i decrease my storage on AWS RDS ?
You can't decrease storage as you provision upfront. The only way to decrease storage is dump your database to disk on another (EC2?) server and create a new RDS instance with less diskspace.
Is there any way to see whats in the RDS storage? I have a Postgres instance on RDS. The Database in itself is very tiny, around 50MBs but the storage is showing as over 10GB is full.
What can be the reason for storage getting filled up?
I am newbie to AWS and just deployed a demo app as a free tier user. Below is my RDS instance high level information.
I see that the db automatic backups are happening as shown below.
I would like to know what is the size of my DB backup storage as a free tier user. I guess the 5 GB shown above is for database storage.
From the Free tier documentation, I have understood that 20 GB database storage and 20 GB of backup storage is available for single A-Z Micro Instances.
Where can I find my backup storage size?
I am using Postgresql database.
There is no direct way to determine the snapshot size of an RDS instance
Usually you don't need to worry if the backup retention period is 1 day, as it is free
According to AWS Documentation
Backup storage is the storage associated with your automated database backups and any user-initiated DB Snapshots you have taken. Increasing your backup retention period or taking DB Snapshots may increase the backup storage consumed by your database. There is no additional charge for backup storage up to 100% of your consumed database storage for an active DB Instance. For example, if you have an active DB Instance with 10GB-month of consumed database storage, we will provide up to 10GB-month of backup storage at no additional charge.
Which means that, if you have allocated 5GB of storage while creating the RDS instance, and lets say you are consuming 1GB of the allocated space, you can approximately take 5 backups.

AWS does not currently have a way to determine actual snapshot sizes.
The "5 GB" of storage is your allocated storage for your database, not necessarily the amount of storage actually used by your database.
