##### Q: What are the implications if I remove my Azure Subscription from my Azure DevOps organization?
195197

196-
A: When you remove your Azure Subscription from your Azure DevOps organization, you only have access to the free tier. If you used more than 2 GiB of storage, you can only read packages. You can't publish new packages until you lower your storage below 2 GiB. Or, you can reconnect an Azure subscription to your organization and set up billing to increase your storage tier.

A: When you remove your Azure Subscription from your Azure DevOps organization, your access is limited to the free tier. If your storage usage exceeds 2 GiB, you retain read-only access to packages. To publish new packages, you must reduce your storage usage below 2 GiB. Alternatively, you can reconnect an Azure subscription to your organization and set up billing to increase your storage tier.

##### Q: Why does my storage consumption display as 0 GiB even though I am storing Artifacts?

A: 1 GiB is currently our lowest granularity, so you most likely haven't reached 1 GiB yet.

A: Currently, our smallest unit of measurement is 1 GiB, so it's probable that you haven't surpassed the 1 GiB threshold yet.

##### Q: How much time does it typically take for the removal of Artifacts to be reflected in the billed storage amount?

A: Deletion of artifacts doesn't register immediately. Storage consumption should be updated within 24 hours, but in some cases it might take up to 48 hours. If you're blocked from uploading Artifacts, as a workaround you can temporarily increase your usage level, then reduce the level back once the storage metrics are updated.

The **used** column on the Billing page of your Organization gets updated once a day. When you delete an Artifact, it might not be reflected immediately on your billing page. The Artifact Storage page however gets updated more frequently, so you might see a small discrepancy between the two pages.
