On exaroton, each server is limited to 10 GB of storage space.
In your dynamic system where you only pay for the time that you actually use the server, we move your server from our storage system to a different host machine every time you start the server and back to the storage system when you stop it. This process takes longer if the server is bigger and for servers at 10 GB or more this can already take several minutes which is why we limit the server size to 10 GB.
If you reach this limit, you can no longer start your server.
There are a few things you could try to reduce the size of your server:
Delete unused Chunks
Minecraft generates thousands of chunks around players, and saves them, even if no player has ever entered them. To automatically remove unused chunks, enable the Optimize option for your worlds.
Delete unused worlds
Worlds usually make up the most of a server's total size. If your server has multiple worlds, and you do not need all of them, you can delete the unused ones here: https://exaroton.com/worlds/
If you are running a Vanilla, Forge or Fabric server, you can delete/reset unused dimensions by deleting their corresponding folders within your world files (e.g. "DIM-1" for Nether, "DIM1" for End).
Delete unused mods/plugins
Mods and plugins can also take up a lot of space. Therefore, you could try to reduce the size of your server by deleting some of them from your server files: https://exaroton.com/files/
When deleting plugins, make sure to remove both the plugin's .jar file and folder from the plugins directory.
Delete unused region files
You can also remove unused parts of your world by removing their region files from your world's "region" folder.
