This seems to be the same issue I have: 🧵 railway/cli not working in Github Actions - Timeout

3 months later it is still not fixed tho, and apparently not even being worked on.

Hi there, could you:

try using --skip-deploys to confirm the issue
link the service you're trying to deploy?

Thanks for getting back to me!

I have tried --skip-deploys which resolved the error locally but not in my GitHub Action.

I don't see an option to link a service to an existing thread. The error happens for all of the services in my account. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I meant sending a link to the service itself.

For now, the timeout is expected. Our gateway has a timeout, and if your deploy takes longer than our timeout, you will get a 504. So, using that flag is going to be the recommended approach.
