| 19 | +This article describes how you can configure an Azure Database for PostgreSQL server storage to grow without impacting the workload. |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +When a server reaches the allocated storage limit, the server is marked as read-only. However, if you enable storage auto grow, the server storage increases to accommodate the growing data. For servers with less than 1 TiB of provisioned storage, the autogrow feature activates when storage consumption reaches 80%. For servers with 1 TB or more of storage, autogrow activates at 90% consumption. |
