My DB stopped syncing due to exceeded 2GB basic plan. I have extra 8GB bonus space. Why stop sync?

My DB stopped syncing due to exceeded 2GB basic plan. I have extra 8GB bonus space. Why stop syncing even though I still have plenty of space available?

Dropbox Basic
3.34 GB of 10 GB used

    Hi skyip, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    The Dropbox desktop application shouldn't stop syncing if you are underquota.

    This will help me to assist further!
