Discord Bot Hosting
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
- Log in to the panel and open your server.
- 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.
