Pro projects can't be paused: workarounds

Pro-Projects at the moment cannot be paused. However, You are allowed to have two free organizations that can support one active project each and an unlimited amount of paused ones.

If a project is under 500MB, you can transfer it to be under a free organization. Afterwards, you can initiate a pause.

Alternatively, you can download a daily backup of only your database for archiving. You can also manually download a .SQL file of your database and storage buckets by following this guide.

You can also download your storage buckets with the Supabase CLI:

1
npx supabase login
2
3
# link to your project
4
npx supabase link
5
6
npx supabase init
7
8
# will download files to current folder
9
npx supabase storage cp -r ss://bucket . --experimental
