Database count and disk usage stats are not updating in cPanel or on the sidebar in cPanel

Symptoms

When checking the right sidebar, or the MySQL Databases icon in cPanel, an incorrect notification can be seen about the number of databases and disk usage for databases on the account.

Description 

This issue most often happens when a change is made to the account and the database cache maintenance cronjob has not had a chance to run.

Workaround

You can check to make sure that the cronjob is in place with the following command:

# crontab -l | grep update_db_cache

In order to manually clear the database usage cache you can use the following command:

/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/update_db_cache

If the command ran successfully, it will produce no output. You should refresh the cPanel interface to verify that the cache has been updated.
