Error message: "app storage exceed limit, app current size: xx GB app limit size: yy GB refer to: MAX_STORAGE_PER_CU and maxCu"

Cause: The storage capacity of the current app has reached its limit.

Solution:

• You can increase the maximum number of CUs (`MaxCU`) to automatically increase the storage capacity. By default, the ratio of CUs to storage capacity is 1:40. For example, if the maximum number of CUs is 2, the default storage capacity is 80 GB.

• You can modify the `MAX_STORAGE_PER_CU` parameter to adjust the storage capacity per CU.

  Note

  Increasing the value of `MAX_STORAGE_PER_CU` can degrade query and write performance. Adjust this parameter with caution.

Error message: "index storage exceed limit, index current size: xx GB index limit size: yy GB refer to: index storage"

Cause: The storage capacity of the current index has reached its limit.

Solution:

• You can increase the storage capacity limit for the index.

• You can adjust the `MAX_STORAGE_PER_INDEX` parameter and create a new index.

  Note

  • For read-intensive scenarios, you can adjust the `MAX_STORAGE_PER_INDEX` parameter, create a new index, use an alias to associate the old and new indexes, and then write data to the new index.

  • The `MAX_STORAGE_PER_INDEX` parameter affects only new indexes.
