You might be hitting your storage limit if:
When your storage usage reaches 100% of your plan's limit, new backups stop. They do not fail in the traditional sense. They just do not start. Existing backups are completely safe and will not be deleted early.
This applies to both server backups and database backups. They share the same storage pool.
You have three options:
Old backups are automatically deleted when they pass your plan's retention period. If you recently added several servers, the first wave of deletions has not happened yet. Give it a few days.
If you are backing up servers or databases you no longer need, remove them from Pink Narwhal. Their existing backups will expire naturally, freeing up space over time.
More storage, more retention, more servers. The nuclear option, but sometimes the right one.
| Plan | Storage |
|---|---|
| Starter | 100 GB |
| Pro | 250 GB |
| Network | 2 TB |
Keep an eye on your usage in these places:
If your storage is consistently near the limit, review which servers are taking the most space. A Rust server with a large map can eat through storage faster than a Minecraft server with a small world.
