Assistance with Tracking Updates in Railway API

We are facing an issue with the app sleeping feature in our application that utilizes Railway APIs. Previously, everything was functioning as expected, with the `isPro` property (a Boolean) being used to enable or disable app sleeping based on the user's plan.

However, since yesterday or earlier, app sleeping has stopped working. Initially, we suspected it was due to an error in our handling of the `isPro` property. To address this, we migrated our database to set all users to isPro: false by default. Despite this, the issue persisted.

Upon further investigation, we identified the actual issue: the serviceInstanceUpdate API now includes a new parameter, multiRegionConfig: {}. This new parameter seems to have introduced changes affecting the app sleeping functionality.

Since our project relies on a bulk of Railway APIs, we would like to know if there is a way to track updated changes or new parameters added to the Railway APIs to ensure compatibility with our application.

Your guidance on monitoring API updates would be highly appreciated.

Thank you, Jagadeesh, for raising the concern on behalf of the team.

As highlighted, our application depends extensively on Railway APIs, making it crucial for us to stay informed about any updates or changes to ensure compatibility. While we understand that maintaining dedicated changelogs for public APIs might not be feasible for a small subset of customers like us, we would greatly appreciate any alternative solutions you could suggest.

All we’re seeking is a reliable way to track changes to the public APIs so we can promptly adapt and align with your standards. If there’s a method or best practice that you recommend for staying up to date, we’d love to hear it. Your guidance would be invaluable to us moving forward.
