Allow upscaling without increasing disk space
complete

Sometimes there are load spikes and I need higher performance database. However, I want to be able to downgrade later.
Now it is not possible as DO do not allow downgrading to tiers with smaller disk space.
Please add option to upgrade database without increasing disk usage, so you have option to downgrade back.

With the release of Autoscaling for storage, we have also globally released manual scale downs for Managed Databases. When needed, you are able to reduce your storage amount to better match your workload. When scale down requests are made, we validate the remaining space will be able to support operations without risking cluster stability.
