Checking your resource usage

Last updated 8/1/2026 by Alfie Web Solutions

Every bot hosting plan comes with fixed CPU, memory (RAM), and disk allocations. Here's how to keep an eye on them.

Live usage

  1. Log in to the panel and open your server.
  2. The Console tab shows live graphs/numbers for CPU, memory, and disk usage right at the top, updating in real time while your server runs.

What happens if you hit a limit

  • Memory (RAM): if your bot tries to use more than its allocation, it will typically be stopped automatically (often shown as an "Out of Memory" event) - this usually means the bot needs more RAM than the current plan provides, or there's a memory leak in the bot's own code.
  • Disk: if you run out of disk space, file uploads and logging will start failing - clear out old/unneeded files (old backups, logs, node_modules if reinstalling anyway) or consider upgrading your plan.
  • CPU: sustained high CPU usage will slow your bot down rather than stop it outright, but consistently maxed-out CPU is worth investigating or upgrading for.

Reducing memory/disk usage

  • Delete old log files and backups you no longer need.
  • Remove unused dependencies/packages.
  • For Node.js bots, avoid keeping large amounts of data in memory unnecessarily (this is a code-level concern, so outside what we can directly fix, but worth checking with whoever maintains the bot's code).

If you're consistently near your limits and think you need a bigger plan, submit a ticket under Discord Bot Hosting or Billing & Accounts and we can talk through upgrade options.
