I have images in my registry showing around 2.5GB of images but registry showing limit exceed. Ran GC alot of time but still no resolution.

Sometimes the registry usage shown in the dashboard can lag behind actual usage, especially after deleting images or running garbage collection.
If you’ve already run GC multiple times and the limit still looks incorrect, it might be worth opening a support ticket so the team can check the backend usage for your registry and see what’s going on:
Hi,
Sometimes there are untagged manifests and orphaned blob layers eating up space that GC doesn’t touch by default.
When you run GC, make sure you’re using:
doctl registry garbage-collection start --include-untagged-manifests
Without --include-untagged-manifests, GC only cleans up layers that aren’t referenced by any manifest — but old untagged manifests themselves stick around and so do their layers.
