Automatically increase your database storage when running low

You can now enable storage autoscaling for Render Postgres databases. When enabled, Render detects when your database is over 90% full and automatically increases its storage by 50% (rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5 GB).

For example, a 50 GB database that's using over 45 GB will automatically increase its storage to 75 GB. This increase is permanent.

Enable storage autoscaling with the following steps:

1. From your database's Info page in the Render Dashboard, scroll down to the Postgres Instance section and click Update.
2. Scroll down to the Enable Storage Autoscaling field and toggle the switch.
3. Click Save Changes.

Learn more about storage autoscaling in the documentation.
