Successful builds on my local machine take less than a minute. All previous builds on Railway have been ~4 min in total. That's acceptable based on the platform.

I made changes to 6 app files only: no package.json, next.config, tsconfig, Tailwind, or .env. So nothing that touches the build pipeline, dependencies, or compiler settings. The Build stage alone in Railway is at 14m 30S and climbing.

I moved up to a paid tier because of performance issues like this across my main 2 apps. I am frustrated that even on a paid tier that these slow builds persist. I'd like to understand why this is happening so frequently. I am hardly the most active user on Railway, and the fact I run into this almost every time I make updates is concerning, especially for someone who is getting ready to launch 2 major platforms.

Please advise if this is resolvable or if this is just what I should expect from Railway moving forward. Build is now at 17 minutes and climbing... that's already 9x what it was before the edit (which builds fine locally).
