# db-role-connections
This command shows the number of active connections for each database roles to see which specific role might be consuming more connections than expected.

## Overview

# db-role-connections

This command shows the number of active connections for each database roles to see which specific role might be consuming more connections than expected.

This is a Supabase specific command. You can see this breakdown on the dashboard as well:
https://app.supabase.com/project/_/database/roles

The maximum number of active connections depends [on your instance size](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/compute-add-ons). You can [manually overwrite](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/platform/performance#allowing-higher-number-of-connections) the allowed number of connection but it is not advised.
