New invoice structure for Neo4j Aura

As we continue to expand the Aura product offering, the existing invoice structure containing detailed AuraDB and AuraDS instance usage information was no longer scalable and becoming difficult to navigate.
We are introducing a new, simplified invoice structure, that only presents the total charges for each individual Aura product. The detailed usage information continues to be available under Billing > Usage
, where you can filter down to a given period and export the detailed instance usage information to a .csv file. More details about the Usage
 page can be found in our documentation.
In the new structure you will see:
total AuraDB and AuraDS instance usage in GB-hours under "Qty."
total GraphQL usage in MB-hours under "Qty."
total Aura Graph Analytics usage in GB-minutes under "Qty."
total charge for the respective Aura product under "Amount".
Here's an example of how it will look:

Important Final Reminder: Support for creating AuraDB version 4 instances ending May 31, 2025

We let everyone know here on April 29 that, starting May 31, 2025, Neo4j will no longer support the creation of AuraDB version 4 database instances. Existing AuraDB version 4 instances will reach end of support on November 30, 2025. All new instances automatically use the latest Neo4j version.
If you are currently an AuraDB Professional

 customer running version 4, we recommend migrating your AuraDB version 4 instances before November 2025 to benefit from the latest Aura database features, including Parallel Runtime, Block Format, read-only Secondaries, and more.  
To assist you with a smooth upgrade, Neo4j offers a Migration Readiness Report that identifies deprecated Cypher syntax, drivers, or index types and provides built-in test and live migration tools.
If you have any questions, please contact Neo4j Customer Support.

Adjustable Storage now available for AuraDB on GCP!

We're excited to announce the initial release of our new Adjustable Storage capability!
Now available for pre-paid Google Cloud customers, Adjustable Storage will soon extend support to Google Cloud Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG), followed later by AWS and Azure.
This new feature, available via API and Console, allows customers to independently scale storage and RAM for their AuraDB instances. You can now adjust your storage capacity without the need to increase your instance size, saving unnecessary costs.
Adjustable Storage is initially available for AuraDB Business Critical and AuraDB Virtual Dedicated Cloud tiers running the latest Neo4j version, applicable to new deployments and resizes.
Benefits of Adjustable Storage:
Greater Flexibility
: Scale resources to better suit your needs
Cost Efficiency:
 Avoid additional compute expenses when only extra storage is required.
Enhanced Experience
: Eliminate manual processes and custom workaround requests through Support teams

Neo4j Aura Database April Release Update

The Neo4j Aura April release has started to roll out, commencing on AuraDB Free and progressing to higher tiers later.

Some highlights include:

Neo4j Admin Database upload http requests have changed to ensure compatibility with the new Aura console.
Introduce --error-format argument to Cypher Shell to control how errors are displayed. See Operations Manual.
Transient error is not thrown when returning startNode and endNode on a deleted relationship.
The AggregationSkippedNull warning is not sent going forward as this is the expected behaviour

Fixes

Fixes a bug that could cause incorrect ‘Mixing label expression symbols ('|', '&', '!', and '%') with colon (':') between labels is not allowed..’ errors.
Fixes a bug where EXPLAIN would sometimes report slightly modified return columns if these variables were reused in the query.
Fixes an issue in Legacy runtime where relationships created in a FOREACH block would all be created with a rightward direction ie FOREACH (... | CREATE (a)<-[:R]-(b)) would create (a)-[:R]->(b) relationship

Please refer to the release notes for full details of the changes.
