PostgreSQL Legacy Instance Types
In October 2024, Render introduced flexible plans for managed PostgreSQL. These plans enable you to set your database’s storage and compute separately. Storage for a database on a flexible plan is billed at a fixed rate per GB, separate from compute.
Databases created before this change use legacy instance types that determine both storage and compute, billed together.
If you have a database on a legacy instance type, you can optionally move it to a flexible plan by changing its instance type in the Render Dashboard. You cannot move back to a legacy instance type.
