# Storage usage quota **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/13294) in GitLab 12.0.
|
|
> - Moved to GitLab Free.
|
|
|
|
## Namespace storage limit
|
|
|
|
Namespaces on GitLab SaaS have a storage limit. For more information, see our [pricing page](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/).
|
|
This limit is not visible on the Usage quotas page, but will be prior to [enforcement](#namespace-storage-limit-enforcement-schedule). Self-managed deployments are not affected.
|
|
|
|
Storage types that add to the total namespace storage are:
|
|
|
|
- Git repository
|
|
- Git LFS
|
|
- Artifacts
|
|
- Container registry
|
|
- Package registry
|
|
- Dependency proxy
|
|
- Wiki
|
|
- Snippets
|
|
|
|
If your total namespace storage exceeds the available namespace storage quota, all projects under the namespace are locked. A locked project will not be able to push to the repository, run pipelines and jobs, or build and push packages.
|
|
|
|
To prevent exceeding the namespace storage quota, you can:
|
|
|
|
1. Reduce storage consumption by following the suggestions in the [Manage Your Storage Usage](#manage-your-storage-usage) section of this page.
|
|
1. Apply for [GitLab for Education](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/education/join/), [GitLab for Open Source](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/), or [GitLab for Startups](https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/startups/) if you meet the eligibility requirements.
|
|
1. Consider using a [self-managed instance](../subscriptions/self_managed/) of GitLab which does not have these limits on the free tier.
|
|
1. [Purchase additional storage](../subscriptions/gitlab_com/index.md#purchase-more-storage-and-transfer) units at $60/year for 10GB of storage.
|
|
1. [Start a trial](https://about.gitlab.com/free-trial/) or [upgrade to GitLab Premium or Ultimate](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing) which include higher limits and features that enable growing teams to ship faster without sacrificing on quality.
|
|
1. [Talk to an expert](https://page.gitlab.com/usage_limits_help.html) to learn more about your options and ask questions.
|
|
|
|
### Namespace storage limit enforcement schedule
|
|
|
|
Storage limits for GitLab SaaS Free tier namespaces will not be enforced prior to 2022-10-19. Storage limits for GitLab SaaS Paid tier namespaces will not be enforced for prior to 2023-02-15.
|
|
|
|
Impacted users are notified via email and in-app notifications at least 60 days prior to enforcement.
|
|
|
|
### Project storage limit
|
|
|
|
Namespaces on a GitLab SaaS **paid** tier (Premium and Ultimate) have a storage limit on their project repositories.
|
|
A project's repository has a storage quota of 10 GB. A namespace has either a namespace-level storage limit or a project-level storage limit, but not both.
|
|
|
|
- Paid tier namespaces have project-level storage limits enforced.
|
|
- Free tier namespaces have namespace-level storage limits.
|
|
|
|
When a project's repository reaches the quota, the project is locked. You cannot push changes to a locked project. To monitor the size of each
|
|
repository in a namespace, including a breakdown for each project, you can
|
|
[view storage usage](#view-storage-usage). To allow a project's repository to exceed the free quota
|
|
you must purchase additional storage. For more details, see [Excess storage usage](#excess-storage-usage).
|
|
|
|
## View storage usage
|
|
|
|
You can view storage usage for your project or [namespace](../user/namespace/index.md).
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your project or namespace:
|
|
- For a project, on the top bar, select **Menu > Projects** and find your project.
|
|
- For a namespace, enter the URL in your browser's toolbar.
|
|
1. From the left sidebar, select **Settings > Usage Quotas**.
|
|
1. Select the **Storage** tab.
|
|
|
|
The statistics are displayed. Select any title to view details. The information on this page
|
|
is updated every 90 minutes.
|
|
|
|
If your namespace shows `'Not applicable.'`, push a commit to any project in the
|
|
namespace to recalculate the storage.
|
|
|
|
## Storage usage statistics
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/68898) project-level graph in GitLab 14.4 [with a flag](../administration/feature_flags.md) named `project_storage_ui`. Disabled by default.
|
|
> - Enabled on GitLab.com in GitLab 14.4.
|
|
> - Enabled on self-managed in GitLab 14.5.
|
|
> - [Feature flag removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/71270) in GitLab 14.5.
|
|
|
|
The following storage usage statistics are available to a maintainer:
|
|
|
|
- Total namespace storage used: Total amount of storage used across projects in this namespace.
|
|
- Total excess storage used: Total amount of storage used that exceeds their allocated storage.
|
|
- Purchased storage available: Total storage that has been purchased but is not yet used.
|
|
|
|
## Manage your storage usage
|
|
|
|
You can use several methods to manage and reduce your usage for some storage types.
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the following pages:
|
|
|
|
- [Reduce package registry storage](packages/package_registry/reduce_package_registry_storage.md)
|
|
- [Reduce dependency proxy storage](packages/dependency_proxy/reduce_dependency_proxy_storage.md)
|
|
- [Reduce repository size](project/repository/reducing_the_repo_size_using_git.md)
|
|
- [Reduce container registry storage](packages/container_registry/reduce_container_registry_storage.md)
|
|
- [Reduce container registry data transfers](packages/container_registry/reduce_container_registry_data_transfer.md)
|
|
- [Reduce wiki repository size](../administration/wikis/index.md#reduce-wiki-repository-size)
|
|
|
|
## Excess storage usage
|
|
|
|
Excess storage usage is the amount that a project's repository exceeds the free storage quota. If no
|
|
purchased storage is available the project is locked. You cannot push changes to a locked project.
|
|
To unlock a project you must [purchase more storage](../subscriptions/gitlab_com/index.md#purchase-more-storage-and-transfer)
|
|
for the namespace. When the purchase is completed, locked projects are automatically unlocked. The
|
|
amount of purchased storage available must always be greater than zero.
|
|
|
|
The **Storage** tab of the **Usage Quotas** page warns you of the following:
|
|
|
|
- Purchased storage available is running low.
|
|
- Projects that are at risk of being locked if purchased storage available is zero.
|
|
- Projects that are locked because purchased storage available is zero. Locked projects are
|
|
marked with an information icon (**{information-o}**) beside their name.
|
|
|
|
### Excess storage example
|
|
|
|
The following example describes an excess storage scenario for namespace _Example Company_:
|
|
|
|
| Repository | Storage used | Excess storage | Quota | Status |
|
|
|------------|--------------|----------------|--------|-------------------|
|
|
| Red | 10 GB | 0 GB | 10 GB | Locked **{lock}** |
|
|
| Blue | 8 GB | 0 GB | 10 GB | Not locked |
|
|
| Green | 10 GB | 0 GB | 10 GB | Locked **{lock}** |
|
|
| Yellow | 2 GB | 0 GB | 10 GB | Not locked |
|
|
| **Totals** | **30 GB** | **0 GB** | - | - |
|
|
|
|
The Red and Green projects are locked because their repositories have reached the quota. In this
|
|
example, no additional storage has yet been purchased.
|
|
|
|
To unlock the Red and Green projects, 50 GB additional storage is purchased.
|
|
|
|
Assuming the Green and Red projects' repositories grow past the 10 GB quota, the purchased storage
|
|
available decreases. All projects remain unlocked because 40 GB purchased storage is available:
|
|
50 GB (purchased storage) - 10 GB (total excess storage used).
|
|
|
|
| Repository | Storage used | Excess storage | Quota | Status |
|
|
|------------|--------------|----------------|---------|-------------------|
|
|
| Red | 15 GB | 5 GB | 10 GB | Not locked |
|
|
| Blue | 14 GB | 4 GB | 10 GB | Not locked |
|
|
| Green | 11 GB | 1 GB | 10 GB | Not locked |
|
|
| Yellow | 5 GB | 0 GB | 10 GB | Not locked |
|
|
| **Totals** | **45 GB** | **10 GB** | - | - |
