File Storage Quota Exceeded in Lovable App
Your Lovable app's file storage is full and users can no longer upload files, images, or documents. New uploads fail with quota or storage limit errors.
As your app grows and users upload more content, you'll eventually hit the storage limits of your Supabase plan. This can happen suddenly when a feature goes viral or gradually as content accumulates over time.
The problem affects all file operations — not just new uploads but potentially also file transformations, thumbnails, and temporary files that consume storage silently.
Error Messages You Might See
Storage quota exceeded
Error: Bucket size limit reached
507 Insufficient Storage
Failed to upload: no space available
Common Causes
- Free tier limits reached — Supabase free tier has 1GB storage, which fills up quickly with images
- No file cleanup — Old, unused, or temporary files are never deleted
- Duplicate files — The same file is uploaded multiple times without deduplication
- Uncompressed uploads — Full-resolution images stored without any compression or resizing
- Orphaned files — Files remain in storage after the associated record is deleted from the database
How to Fix It
- Check current storage usage — Go to Supabase dashboard → Storage to see which buckets use the most space
- Clean up orphaned files — Write a script to find storage files that aren't referenced in your database and delete them
- Add image compression — Compress images before upload to reduce file sizes by 60-80%
- Implement file lifecycle rules — Automatically delete temporary files and old versions after a set period
- Upgrade your storage plan — If your app legitimately needs more storage, upgrade your Supabase plan

Vlad Temian
15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.
You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How much storage does Supabase free tier include?
Supabase free tier includes 1GB of storage. The Pro plan ($25/month) includes 100GB with additional storage at $0.021/GB.
Will deleting database records free up storage?
No. Deleting a database row doesn't automatically delete the associated files in storage. You need to explicitly delete files from the storage bucket.
