Hi, I got a message saying I reached my budget limit already? Makes no sense? In 4 days I reached 3.4M reads in a project how with only 100 users? This is my project ID: 6571e477ca1c5ea5058e

I'm paying for my other 3 projects and they haven't reached anything and I feel like this is truly unfair.

Quite upset at this and I'm moving to self hosted at this rate

TL;DR
User faced a budget limit issue but resolved it. Talked about self-hosting, updating versions, migrations, and DB reads. Solution was managing relationships properly to avoid exceeding budget.

maybe you exceeded the bandwith or smth also database reads & writes are limited id recommend you check the pricing and try to compare your ussages against the limits to find out what limit you exceeded and maybe add in some caching or stuff but idk this was the reason for me to go with the self hosted version from the beginning https://appwrite.io/pricing

Mmmhm okay, I'm goign with self hosted. Makes more sense tbh

yupp agreed as long as you can host it on your own in a reliable manner and dont care about updating it urself which honestly is a breeze <:shrug:870430331193409546>

Thanks so much <@797411889222385696> ! Do you have a link for upgrading? do you know if it will break my current apps if I move across to self hosted using migration?

wdym with a link for upgrading?

do you perhaps mean the setup instructions for self-hosted? https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting

Apologies! I meant is it hard to upgrade from my appwrite version to a newer version in the future. Is there a link to do it reliably. I was able to set up coolify and use appwrite now self hosted with no issues. I need to do migration and I'm worried I'm going to break my current apps.

ahh thats what you mean No the update isnt hard to do at all described here https://appwrite.io/docs/advanced/self-hosting/production/updates#install-next-version all you essentially need to do is paste a command for docker to pull the latest version, then run the migration command

do you have code that's fetching a lot of rows or do you have a lot of relationships? these two things can contribute a lot to the DB reads

Please close this. it might have been the relationships

Can you confirm this is fixed?
