Understanding and managing your storage quota
Every plan comes with a media storage allowance. Learn how to check your usage, free up space, and what happens if you hit the limit.
Media you upload — images, podcast audio, PDF downloads, video thumbnails — is stored on Cloudflare R2 and counts toward your plan's storage quota. Your quota resets only if you upgrade; unused quota does not roll over month to month.
Checking your current usage
Go to Admin → Billing and scroll to the Usage section. The Media storage row shows how much of your plan's storage you have used, with a progress bar that turns amber at 60% and red at 90%. It is one combined total for your media; there is no breakdown by file type. The figure is calculated each time the page loads.
Storage limits by plan
- Pro — 5 GB
- Business — 50 GB
- Agency — Unlimited
Freeing up space
Go to Admin → Media. Sort by file size (click the Size column header) to find the biggest files first. Select any file you no longer need and click Delete. Deleted files are removed from R2 within 60 seconds — there is no trash recovery. Before deleting, confirm the file is not embedded in any published post by searching your posts for the filename.
Deleting a media file breaks any post that embeds it — the image shows as a broken icon and podcast audio stops playing. Always check where a file is used before deleting.
What happens at the limit
When you hit 100% of your quota, new uploads are blocked with an error message. Existing media continues to serve normally — nothing goes offline. You can still publish text-only posts. To resume uploads, either delete old media to free space or upgrade your plan from Admin → Billing.
Upgrading for more storage
Upgrading your plan increases your quota immediately. Go to Admin → Billing, click 'Change plan', and select Business or Agency. The new storage limit applies instantly — you can upload right away without waiting for a billing cycle.
