 > [!NOTE]
 > - Both data and log file size in the user and system databases are included in the instance storage size that is compared with the Max storage size limit. Use <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/sql/relational-databases/system-catalog-views/sys-master-files-transact-sql">sys.master_files</a> system view to determine the total used space by databases. Error logs are not persisted and not included in the size. Backups are not included in storage size.
 > - Throughput and IOPS also depend on the page size that is not explicitly limited by managed instance.
