• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Issue Plesk report wrong disk usage

New Pleskian
I have set plesk to send e-mail warning upon reaching 250 MB of disk usage. A few days ago I got a report of subscription to have reached 334 MB of course this is not the case, if I sum the database, mailboxes and root space it won't ever reach the 250 MB quota.

I have read there is a bug for wrong measurement when the logs folder is missing, but this is not the case. I also read it can be due to web users being calculated twice, but I don't see any web_users folder under my httpdocs folder.

References:
Disk usage is not calculated correctly if domain logs directory is missing
Disk usage by "Web" is calculated incorrectly, if the domain has web users
 
Make sure that in Tools&Settings->Server Settings you have not enabled "domain backup files" for "Include in the disk space usage calculation".
 
Your answer ringed a bell, I checked if there were any backup leftovers from plesk and I was right! The domains in question had a backup dated 30 june, the curious thing is no backup is scheduled, also all the website hosted have a backup generated with the same date, how could you explain this? Is it intended by plesk in some case?
