## How to downgrade your flavor

This option is currently available via the OVHcloud [API](https://eu.api.ovh.com/).

### Requirements

- Access to the OVHcloud [API](https://eu.api.ovh.com/) (create your credentials by consulting [this guide](/it/guides/manage-and-operate/api/first-steps.md))
- A [Public Cloud project](https://www.ovhcloud.com/en-gb/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account

### Instructions

In order to be able to downgrade your flavor, you must have a threshold of 20% between your current disk space used (base storage + additional storage) and the maximum storage space allowed for the flavor.

For instance, if you have a PostgreSQL cluster with db1-15 as flavor and less than 384 GB (80% of 480GB) of disk space used, you can decrease the flavor to db1-7 on that endpoint:
