Why is my account out of quota now?

So I have been using Dropbox for years with no problems. All of a sudden, a message pops up that I am out of storage and that I am using 11.31 GB of 2 GB space and it stopped syncing my files. My free account had way more than 2 GB as evidenced by the fact that I was allowed to reach 11.31 at one point. Why all of a sudden am I out of storage? Seems like they lowered the storage space without notification. The minimum upgrade cost is $9.99 per month for 2,000 GB. I don't need that much and don't want to pay that amount when I only need a smaller amount of storage space.
