Your account should have had 1024 mb limit from the beginning, so for now I have set it to that.
I'm a bit curious as to the purpose of the site though before doing any further upgrade, it appears that it is the file based database that the software uses that makes up for the diskspace usage, it is currently little over 750mb, and you had the account for roughly 3 months.
Would there be any option to prune old data out from the software to keep that file at moderate size? If it would continue to increase without control it will become huge and that could become a problem on free hosting, although unmetered space is offered it is not unlimited, and it does come with some restrictions.
In the case of this software, which appears to be for monitoring electrical usage, it may also border to fall under script hosting which is prohibited by ToS, as I assume it is monitoring your personal usage only.

Thanks, things are working again!
Yes, it is to monitor energy and resource (water, gas) usage- I suppose a script running vs an HTTP get from an appliance could be up for debate. I send this same datastream to a number of other free services, some who have been archiving the data for years now.. but they are not your service, and I don't want to run afoul!
I'm currently helping with testing / tweaking this code before general release, and yes, data consolidation is high on my list for a number of reasons.. performance being a big one. It only stores my own usage. I'll be archiving data and moving it to another system for review every 6-12 months. So I would expect to see DB usage go up to 3-4GB @ the end of a full year, until data aging & consolidation gets added in, or we reduce sampling rates.
The end goal for this is to run this package on low power computers and / or free web-hosts, to allow people to monitor and reduce their energy and resource usage. I truly appreciate that you run this service for free, I'm fine getting capped at whatever makes sense for you.
Thanks again!
