Database statuses
A database can have one of several statuses. Each status has a different impact on your ability to use the database.
In the Astra Portal, go to Databases to see the status of all your databases. To see the status of a specific database, select the database in the navigation menu.
Database status definitions
| Active |
Your database is available and ready to use. |
||
| Initializing |
The database is being provisioned. It should be ready to use soon. |
||
| Maintenance |
While a database is entering or exiting Hibernated status, the database is in Maintenance status. |
||
| Hibernated |
When an Astra DB database on the Free plan is idle for more than 48 hours, it automatically enters Hibernated status. In the Astra Portal, you can resume hibernated databases:
|
||
| Parked (deprecated) |
The database is parked and unavailable unless unparked. Due to deprecation of the park and unpark features, if the database fails to unpark, you must terminate the database and create a new one. |
||
| Resizing |
The database is scaling up. Database functionality is limited while resizing. |
||
| Suspended |
For Astra DB organizations on the Free plan, databases are suspended if your monthly credits run out. For more information, see Subscriptions and billing. |
||
| Terminating |
The database and all of its data are being deleted. |
||
| Terminated |
The database and all of its data are no longer available. |
||
| Error |
Something is wrong with the database. Contact DataStax Support. |
