So we run on RDS, and we clearly used up all of our provisioned storage. However, I am baffled, and while I am emailing our AWS support, I wondered if this list might point me in some direction too.
Our provisioned storage was 15TB. The size of our database -- shown in pg_database -- is only 6TB. What in the world could be using that remaining space? I am at a loss, that's a _ton_ of space being used up. Is it some temporary allocation during script execution (seems ginormous, impossible)? It it some WAL log thing?
I know this is part AWS RDS and part PG but it's difficult to track down. Welcome to any ideas to dig into.

*Something* is preventing PG from using more disk space. Check ulimit,
cgroups, container limits, etc.
