Keeping an eye on your resource usage prevents unexpected limits from disrupting your projects. The Nobregas MySQL Panel dashboard makes it easy to see exactly how much storage and how many databases you are using at any time.
Locating the Quota Information
After logging in at mysql.nobregas.org, the dashboard loads automatically. Look at the stats cards at the top and the Plan Information section below them.
Reading the Database Quota
The Total Databases stat card shows two numbers:
- The current count of databases you have created.
- The maximum allowed by your plan.
For example, if you see 2 / 5, it means you have created 2 databases out of a maximum of 5.
In the Plan Information section, a progress bar visualizes your database usage as a percentage. A full bar means you have reached your limit and need to upgrade or delete a database before creating a new one.
Reading the Storage Quota
The Storage Used stat card displays:
- Your current storage consumption in MB.
- Your maximum storage allowance in MB.
For example, 45.20 MB / 1024 MB means you are using roughly 45 MB out of 1 GB.
The Plan Information section again provides a progress bar with a percentage so you can quickly gauge how much space remains.
What Happens When You Reach a Limit
- Database limit reached — The Create Database button will notify you that your plan limit has been reached. You will need to drop an existing database or upgrade your plan.
- Storage limit reached — Write operations to your databases may fail. Consider cleaning up unused tables, optimizing data, or upgrading your plan.
Tips to Stay Under Your Limits
- Regularly review your databases and delete any that are no longer needed.
- Use the Truncate feature to clear test data from tables you no longer need.
- Monitor the dashboard after large imports to check the storage impact.
- Contact Nobregas support if you need a plan upgrade.
