Account is shown as out of storage

I’m trying to add a new file to my repl and I get the pop-up below telling me my account is out of storage and and I need to free up disk space. However, right below it says this repl uses 2.2 GiB and the pro-plan has 50GiB of storage.

Am I doing something wrong? Does disk space refer to something else? This is my only repl, so it’s not like other ones are taking up space.

I’ve installed a few libraries, could that be the issue?

Thanks for any help!

This pop-up window says that all your replays in total exceed the limit of 50 gigabytes. Because of this, there is not enough space on the disk to create a new file in your repl.

To see which of your replays take up a lot of memory space, visit this page: https://replit.com/account#resource-usage . It will show the amount of memory occupied by each of your replays.

Example:

To free up disk space, you must delete some unnecessary or too large replays. When you decide which replicas you should delete, click on the “Manage Repls” button and delete some replicas.

I’d agree with you, except it also says that 47.8GiB is available, so I think this pop-up was shown in error.

Try closing that prompt. Also, maybe delete a useless repl or two so it like changes what it thinks you’re at to what it’s actually at.

Problem description:
Replit all the time reports that I’m out of storage. I have read all the forums and seems like others have real issues with storage or not buying the right account size. I’m just increasing my account, CPU, storage etc, but nothing helps.
Forking accounts checking available size etc…

As for me this is the biggest issue with Replit - storage bugs. It just does not work or Replit is hiding information regarding some additional limitations (e.g. IO limits).

Expected behavior:
Should not report that.

Actual behavior:
Complains that Replit is out of storage.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a python app. Use zipfile.ZipFile() to archive any file - fails every time. I believe you have some rate limiting for file access or writing, but can’t find any proof.

Now even while in IDEA started to throw out pop ups. I increased additionally my storage from 50GB by 10 GB (as offered by the pop up) but I guess it was waste of money.

Hi @KarlisBalcers , welcome to the forums!
This appears to not be accurate, as you clearly have 47.5 GiB. I suggest you don’t listen to it.
@ShaneAtReplit Can you confirm this?

Reloading page does not help. Maybe Replit themselves run out of memory?

I don’t think so :thinking: .
This is a serious issue. The system has a error.
Maybe status.replit.com has updates?

Logged out, cleared cookies, reloaded, logged in - same error. So, not client (browser) related.

Now I’m blocked till this is resolved. Does not seem like I can do anything from my side as it does not let me see source code or anything. That pop-up also keeps showing up non stop.

What if you select “Do not show this message again for this session”?

Don’t know if it was the checkbox or what, but after loading for 2 min (was showing Loading… all the time) it is back and I can edit the source code. It’s not hiding the source code now (for now).

At least the UI part we have fixed. That zipfile.ZipFile() thingy I will report later again if needed - for now I have updated my code not to create any new files and then it works :stuck_out_tongue:

Pop-up still keeps popping up time by time, but if I select the checkbox then at least it lets me to continue to work.

Celebrated to early - now I’m blocked again. Can you make an account “Unlimited” and remove the crap? I don’t care how much I need to pay (I can optimize later) - first I want to get my stuff done. If you need to charge me 100 USD/month for consumed disk then please go, but don’t give me this awful experience. If would would not be so bad at DevOps skills I would be long gone.

Currently Replit is making major improvements and upgrades to their storage system. However, up until this point, Repls (not your account, but individual Repls) have had 1GB storage limits. They are working on improving this so that Repls can have insane amounts of storage, but I do not believe that feature has been released yet (meaning that no matter your account storage, each Repl can only have 1GB of stuff at the most).

Do I understand correctly - no matter how much I pay I can’t get more than 2GB for a Repl (https://blog.replit.com/repl-resources)? So, even if I buy 60 GB storage, it simply means I can have 30 Repls 2 GB each, but not to have one with 60GB!!! This explains all the storage issues. Is it so hard to write it in the manual???

Yes I believe that is correct at the moment; however, Replit intends to release expandable storage for Repls up to 256GB and possibly beyond in the near future.

And never considered to show this in RED in this awesome animated graph…
