Description

max_allocated_storage - (Optional) When configured, the upper limit to which Amazon RDS can automatically scale the storage of the DB instance. Configuring this will automatically ignore differences to allocated_storage. Must be greater than or equal to allocated_storage or 0 to disable Storage Autoscaling.

To enable Storage Autoscaling with instances that support the feature, define the max_allocated_storage argument higher than the allocated_storage argument. Terraform will automatically hide differences with the allocated_storage argument value if autoscaling occurs.

In the docs, it says to max_allocated_storage ≥ allocated_storage || max_allocated_storage == 0 to disable storage autoscaling, however, in another part of the documentation, it says it will enable storage autoscaling. Is this discrepancy expected? if not, what should the actual behaviour be?
