Dear Customer - Thanks for reaching out - I wanted to give my thoughts on the matter here

The way to increase this instance's storage is by restoring a snapshot to a larger instance. There are 2 ways to restore the current snapshot into a new, larger instance in LightSail:

  1. If you have an existing/recent snapshot of the LightSail database(You cannot create a new snapshot while the instance storage is already full). Refer the below link for complete steps on creating a new lightsail database from snapshot:

  1. The other method to achieve this would be through 'Emergency Restore':

hope this helps in your project
