Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:

• 🧵 metal discount not applied

• 🧵 Metal Discount not applied correctly

• 🧵 Just a concern with cost

• 🧵 push us over the railway metal usage discount requirement?

If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Hi there,

We've recently made the full cutover to our metal infrastructure, and as such, we've updated our prices to be lower.

This means the prices you see on your invoice are the "metal" prices, just without a discount needed.

Best,

Nico

Hi, Server costs remain very high, and user costs don't appear to have decreased.

Hi,

This is entirely dependent on what you have deployed. I recommend checking out your resource usage under https://railway.app/account/usage and looking at projects consuming high resources, and troubleshoot why it's doing so.

Unfortunately, we can't assist you further with figuring out why your bill is higher than normal - it's out of our control, and akin to asking a utilities company "why is my water bill high". We only know how much resources you consume, we don't know why.

If you'd like to control your spending on Railway, I highly suggest enabling Usage Limits (https://docs.railway.app/reference/usage-limits).

Hi, I'm working on a 24-hour WhatsApp Web project, and I'd like to keep costs down as much as possible; otherwise, it's not feasible. If I reduce the amount of RAM and CPU in my server, will that help lower costs?

Hey Carlos, you could reduce them but that wouldn't necessarily reduce the cost as that entirely depends on how much of those your app ends up using.
