I'm on a hobby account with a Postgres instance using 5GB on the mount volume. I'm looking as storing some larger data in the DB (audio files as BYTEA) and the 5GB would fill up 80% after uploading my current files.
Is there a way I can increase my volume size (preferably without any data loss) to say 25 or 50GB?
This is a personal project for friends and family, not a business or anything of that sort (thought I'd mention that as a common theme I've seen so far…)

To increase the volume size limit you would need to upgrade to Pro, then you can then move the project over to the Pro workspace, go into the volumes settings and grow the volume to 50gb.

Thanks @brody!
I ended up upgrading, even though my budget for this project is limited. I'll test it for a month. If I grow the volume size, will that wipe the volume?
Asking to know it I NEED to make a backup before increasing the size.

Nope, growing the volume does not wipe anything, though there would be a small amount of downtime.
