# Storage usage quota
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/13294) in [GitLab Starter](https://about.gitlab.com/pricing/) 12.0.
|
|
> - Moved to GitLab Free.
|
|
|
|
A project's repository has a free storage quota of 10 GB. When a project's repository reaches
|
|
the quota it 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
|
|
|
|
To help manage storage, a namespace's owner can view:
|
|
|
|
- Total storage used in the namespace
|
|
- Total storage used per project
|
|
|
|
To view storage usage, from the namespace's page go to **Settings > Usage Quotas** and select the
|
|
**Storage** tab. The Usage Quotas statistics are updated every 90 minutes.
|
|
|
|
If your namespace shows `N/A` as the total storage usage, push a commit to any project in that
|
|
namespace to trigger a recalculation.
|
|
|
|
A stacked bar graph shows the proportional storage used for the namespace, including a total per
|
|
storage item. Click on each project's title to see a breakdown per storage item.
|
|
|
|
## Storage usage statistics **(BRONZE ONLY)**
|
|
|
|
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/247831) in GitLab 13.7.
|
|
> - It's [deployed behind a feature flag](../user/feature_flags.md), enabled by default.
|
|
> - It's enabled on GitLab.com.
|
|
> - It's recommended for production use.

WARNING:
|
|
This feature might not be available to you. Check the **version history** note above for details.
|
|
|
|
The following storage usage statistics are available to an owner:
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
## 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)
|
|
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** | - | - |
