The storage space of PolarDB automatically scales based on the volume of stored data. You do not need to manually specify the storage capacity. You are charged only for the used storage space. If you want to store large volumes of data, we recommend that you use storage plans to reduce costs. This topic describes how to view the usage details of a storage plan.
Precautions
You can view usage details of valid resource plans and resource plans that have expired within one year.
To view the storage usage of the current cluster, see View the database storage usage.
