The size within cPanel (not PHPMyAdmin) is correct. I just confirmed this on the server.

The size within cPanel (not PHPMyAdmin) is correct. I just confirmed this on the server.

as I understand this:
1. > cPanel-x3 shows total disk space used by the database(s) and overhead
2. > phpMyAdmin shows disk space used by each database

so while they are both 'correct' - they are not the same thing

my account has one (1) database:
1. > cPanel-x3 shows total [ MySQL Disk Space ] used by the database and overhead is 0.03 MiB (30 KiB)
2. > phpMyAdmin shows disk space used by the database is 2.1 KiB

overhead for the database is about 27.9 KiB of disk space

note for the OP - MySQL size limit is "Unlimited" - you have no 'resources' issue with the database size
