6. I have recently paid for renewal so will I have to pay for the full tenure of new plan pricing, if in case I upgrade?
Ans: NO, only difference amount and that also to be paid for the remaining service period. So you don't lose any service benefits or service period of the existing paid amount, as you are required to pay only the difference amount.

7. I don’t want to upgrade my plan in that case how can I fix such a disk overuse issue?

Ans: In that case, you need to download a backup of all data and make sure that after taking all required backups only, you delete unwanted files/folders or email ids or recreate email ids if any specific ID space you want to free up. Please note any delete actions are final and delete actions are irreversible thus if you prefer to free up space by deleting some data make sure you have taken offline backup copy at your end before taking such delete action.
