I believe this means you exceeded the maximum amount of disk space that replit allows.

Hi @Roosteridk yes @bigminiboss is correct. Are you using cycles at all to give your Repl more space? This might resolve the issue.

Hi Ian, thanks for your reply. Firstly, I don’t think the issue was with the storage limits as my usage was way below the 4GB limit. Something weird happened when I tried to run the Repl again today. The disk quota exceeded error disappeared and now it works fine. I deleted all the temporary files yesterday and maybe the changes were reflected only a while after. Weird.

Hi @IanAtReplit, the problem seems to be reoccurring. At first, I thought it might be a puppeteer related bug but I don’t think that’s the case. I hope this screenshot will help clarify the issue:

As you can see, /tmp is barely used yet it says Disk quota exceeded when I try to create a new directory. And here is my Repl resource usage:

Pretty much no storage used.

Try after rebooting your repl: kill 1 in shell.
The repl link you sent 404s. If it’s private, link a minimal repl which reproduces the issue

By the error you’d think that while booting nix the project hit its limit.

Thank you for the information! I have asked the team if there is something we can do about this. I will follow up as soon as I get a reply.

Can you run df -h /tmp to check the size of the /tmp directory? We have a 1GB limit for all files in and outside of the Repl’s main directory (/tmp is considered an “outside” directory).

Update: doing kill 1 as @UMARismyname suggested seems to have fixed the problem for now!

And here is the /tmp usage:

~/5$ df -h /tmp
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nbd0        32G   21M   32G   1% /tmp
