When to upgrade your plan, and when not to
Four signals that mean you have outgrown a tier, three that look like it and are not, and how to tell which one you are actually looking at.

Upgrading is the easiest thing to do and therefore the first thing suggested, including by hosts who benefit from it. Some problems are genuinely a size problem. Rather more of them are a configuration problem wearing a size problem's clothes.
Upgrade when
- Memory sits near the ceiling at idle, not just at peak.
- The logs show allocation failures or an out-of-memory kill.
- You are deliberately adding load - more players, a bigger world, a second service.
- Disk is full, which no amount of tuning fixes.
Do not upgrade when
- The stutter is periodic, which is a save or a backup rather than a shortage.
- Tick rate is low while memory is calm - that is CPU, and a bigger memory tier does nothing.
- One player has problems and nobody else does; that is their connection.
