# ERPC Global Storage - Upgrade / Downgrade

## 📦 Storage Upgrade / Downgrade

Change your storage capacity at any time. Stripe handles prorated billing automatically — you only pay the difference.

### Check Current Usage

Before upgrading or downgrading, check your current usage:

```bash
slv storage usage
```

```
📊 Storage Usage
  Used:    3.2 GB / 5 GB
  Files:   47
  Region:  eu
```

### Upgrade Storage

Increase your storage capacity (in GB):

```bash
slv storage upgrade 50
```

Or run interactively to choose a new capacity:

```bash
slv storage upgrade
```

```
📦 Current Storage: 5 GB
? Enter new storage capacity in GB › 50

  Previous: 5 GB
  New:      50 GB
  Billing:  Prorated (you pay the difference for this billing cycle)

√ Storage upgraded to 50 GB
```

### Downgrade Storage

You can also downgrade by specifying a smaller quantity:

```bash
slv storage upgrade 5
```

⚠️ **Important:** You cannot downgrade below your current used storage. Delete files first if needed.

### Billing

- **Upgrade:** You are charged the prorated difference immediately.
- **Downgrade:** A prorated credit is applied to your next invoice.
- Billing is handled by Stripe. View your invoices on the ERPC dashboard.
