Size of Cloudsql Instance reduced from 70 GB to 51GB

[Muhammad Asif]

Hi Geeks,

 We are using cloudsql instance which size gradually increased to 70 GB. Yesterday morning it was 70 GB. But today I notice that it is reduced to 51GB. Please guide me what may be the cause?

Yesterday there was some update activity happen on our DB not by us but by Google. 

What this updation activity can do. May be some other reasons. Please guide.

Regards 

M.Asif

Hello,

I’m not sure whether you are referring to used storage or total available storage. However, if it’s used storage, this may be a case where the bin logs were purged. However, to know for a fact, this issue requires someone from the support team to inspect your instance. I would recommend you to contact GCP support as they can surely provide you with information about this storage reduction you are seeing on your instance.

Hi David.

Thanks for your reply. Yes I am talking about used storage. You may be right. Google update activity may purge binlogs. How can we verify it? Can we access the instance?

Thanks for sharing such a great solution. It is really helpful for Tyler the Creator Merch Store.

Hello. Bin logs update regularly and use storage space. These are automatically deleted with their associated automatic backup, which generally happens after about 7 days. However, I could not find a way for you to verify this on your end. Should you require further information, you can contact GCP support since they can inspect your instance and provide you with more relevant details about this.
