title: Firebase storage Quota has been exceeded
body: <p>I have set up a test account on firebase just for development purposes.</p>
  
  <p>I made use of the storage feature and so I uploaded manually an image with the size of 400kb which later I downloaded through an IOS application.</p>
  
  <p>All of a sudden the application stopped working and I cannot access the storage from the console.. I get the message "warning Can't connect to server. Try again in a few minutes."</p>
  
  <p>By searching in the stackoverflow, I found some people claiming that this has to do with multiple google accounts signed in from the same browser etc..</p>
  
  <p>The IOS application though, logs the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error Domain=FIRStorageErrorDomain Code=-13000 "An unknown error occurred, please check the server response." UserInfo={object=images/nicewall.jpg, bucket=partyreports-49b0a.appspot.com, ResponseBody={
      "error": {
        "code": 402,
        "message": "Quota has been exceeded for this project. Please visit the Firebase pricing page to learn more."
      }</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Please pay attention to the message "Quota has been exceeded.."</p>
  
  <p>How is this even possible? The analytics/events shows "session_start:193" which I assume is how many times the application connected to the Firebase.</p>
  
  <p>Now if my calculations are correct 193x400KB is way less than the 30GB traffic limit..</p>
  
  <p>It is worth noting that I have a second project setup under the same account which I don't use at all.. and the storage is accessible.. </p>
  
  <p>After googling a bit, I found that I should have billing information setup.. and so I did.. after a few minutes I can access the storage again.. </p>
  
  <p>How can I tell what was wrong?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Was it the billing account? Or that was a random incident?</li>
  <li>I do NOT believe my app exceeded the limits</li>
  <li>How often the limits reset?</li>
  <li>Where can I see the actual limits for each service/feature?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thanks and sorry for the long post!</p>
