Lightsail database storage-full status can not restored
My database service has fallen in storage-full state. I tried to restore it by Emergency Restore function, setting restore time to the time before lastRestorableTime. I checked this using AWS CLI command* aws lightsail get-relational-database and making new instance which has doubled disk size. The original one was 40GB, and the new one is 80GB
ex) "latestRestorableTime": "2022-12-26T21:55:00+00:00",
A instance is made succesfully but the new instance is still on storage-full state
I want restore my data but there's nothing I can do I can't login or query to database on CLI, I can't dump by data neither.
And as I continued to create databases that didn't even work, I wasted a lot of my time and spent a lot of money on the cloud billing.
I think the person in charge of AWS should solve this problem. Lightsail database is not working as you designed it and someone is suffering a lot.

Hi,
The best way to recover the data and get your database back to workable is to use the Emergency Restore function in Lightsail's database feature, which will create a new database from a point-in-time restore point. Here are the docs on this feature: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-creating-a-database-from-point-in-time-backup
To make this work, however, you have to select a larger bundle in order to get more storage for your database. If not, the new database will immediately run out of storage again.
Once the customer creates a larger DB from the point-in-time restore, the customer can delete temporary files, and any unnecessary tables, and create a database with the original size following: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-importing-data-into-your-mysql-database

As you can see in the screenshot I attached, I made double sized new database. The original was 40GB, and new one is 80GB. But it's still storage-full state!
