Hi @Jon Z,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

As I understand, you're experiencing a significant increase in storage size and cost for your Azure Database for MySQL Flexible Server. Here are some key points to consider:

• The storage you provision is the total capacity available to your server and is billed per GiB/month. This means that even if your database size is smaller, you are billed for the entire provisioned storage.
• Azure offers locally-redundant storage, which ensures data durability by replicating data within a single region.
• Input/output operations per second (IOPS) can be auto-scaled or pre-provisioned. Higher IOPS can lead to increased costs.
• Accelerated Logs this feature can improve performance but may also contribute to higher storage usage and costs.
• Storage Auto-growth this feature automatically increases your storage size as needed, which can lead to unexpected cost increases if not monitored closely.
