Can I write a script to do this myself, does your API support it ?

I don't think Railway supports this directly, but you could set up a script that just pings the server evert few minutes (~9 minutes) until night time or whenever, you could even make it a cron job that starts in the morning and self terminates at night. The cost would be negligible if done over the private network.

yes I got it , for anyone else looking to do it , just make this graphQL mutation environmentPatchCommit to toggle the sleep

{
  "commitMessage": "enable sleep",
  "environmentId": "yourenvID",
  "patch": {
    "services": {
      "YourServiceId": {
        "deploy": {
          "sleepApplication": false
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

With the details of your service and can easily write a cron script to do so.

Would this not redeploy your service (or require a redeploy) twice a day then though?

yes that is fine

Or do you think this will be less cost efficient?

Toggling sleep does not put your app to sleep instantly, for what it's worth.

Yeah its fine, currently the sleep time is kind of less , and ideally i would want a config parameter in settings where i can adjust the sleep time.
