The limit that matters
Retention is how far back you can reach.
Most data loss isn't discovered the day it happens. A migration that silently corrupted a table, a dump that stopped running — you usually find out days later. When you do, your retention window decides whether there's still a good backup to reach for.

Pricing questions
Yes. Upgrades are instant — your new limits apply immediately. Downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing cycle.
The next backup is blocked and you receive an email alert. Your existing backups are untouched. Delete old backups to free space immediately, or upgrade to continue.
Yes — storage is recalculated in real time. The moment a backup is deleted, that space is freed and your usage drops immediately.
Each database you add to Capsule counts as one connection — whether it's Postgres, MySQL, or MongoDB, local or remote.
You don't need one — the Hobbyist plan is free forever and genuinely useful for a single local database. Upgrade only when you need more connections, longer retention, or a custom schedule.
