Lightsail Database Instance stuck at "Storage Full" state

Question

My lightsail mysql db instance has no storage space left. I don't know the reason why and it was a test db, so nothing important. But now I cannot perform any operation on it. I cannot not delete it, cannot stop it, cannot add additional storage.. So it is stuck at storage full status.

Hi,  
  
We are trying to fix it as soon as possible. I can't give a exactly time now, but it shouldn't be very long. You don't need to buy the support plan, but if it's not urgent, I suggest wait a little bit and delete it by yourself, then contact customer support so we can refund you for this unable-to-delete time.  
  
Best wishes,

Can you connect to it from the terminal in your account (or via SSH)?

Hello,  
  
thank you for the quick reply. It is not urgent, but what do you mean by soon? 1 week, 1 month, 3 months? Would you delete the instance, even If I don't have a support plan or should I buy one?
