I use railway to host n8n and dont have any active automations. I'm learning how to build automations and don't execute much at all. Last time I checked it was at $5 and I closed my railway and n8n tabs for a few days. When I opened it back up it's now at $8. Why is this happening?

In your plan you have a cap of a certain resources.
Think of those resources as though they are your computers specs themselves. If you try and use more then what the plan provides it is simply non existent and will not work. So "Your plan includes X and Y" means you have up to that much per service. A hard limit.
Now, for actually getting charged it's a bit different. You are charged by time of resource used (resource /s) visible on the https://railway.com/pricing page. If your service runs using 10mb of ram for a minute you are charged at 10mb*60s.
For the monthly subscription, there’s a minimum included spend. On the Hobby plan, that’s $5 per month, which covers the first $5 of usage. If you use $4 worth of RAM, you’ll still pay the $5 minimum. If you use $6 worth of RAM, you’ll pay $6 total, the $5 base plus $1 for the additional usage.

You can check the cost breakdown of each service by going to Workspace settings > Usage > Click on your project then bottom right corner there's a "View Cost by Service."
