Hello.
Database disk space cannot be increased simply by increasing the instance type.
If you are hosting your database on EC2, you will need to increase the EBS size.
Please increase the EBS size by following the steps in the document below, and then expand the disk file on the OS side.

If you are hosting on RDS, you can increase the number from the database change screen.
It is also possible to perform automatic scaling, so please set it as necessary.
