For some odd reason, some users are not able to migrate non-metal volumes to metal. I have escalated this issue to team in another thread.

Same here. The feature flag is on, but I cannot migrate with the same message: "Cannot migrate volumes between non-metal and metal regions. Please create a new volume instead."

Apologies for the late response, non metal to metal volume migrations are currently paused for pro users. More on that can be found in the latest changelog: https://railway.com/changelog/2025-03-14-ssh-railpack-improvements#hobby-metal-volumes.

@uxuz When will this be unpaused?

Hey @Furiae, unfortunately I am unable to provide you with an exact date. However, what I can do is to notify everyone that has participated in this thread once non metal to metal volume migrations have been resumed for pro users.

That works for me. I have small demo environments at the moment so I am not in a huge rush. I do have a new app I am about to start building that we do not want to GCP or AWS which is why I am really checking. 😄

Same error here. But I managed to create a new volume on metal, but impossible to import database dump from the previous non metal volume - pg_restore: error: could not execute query: ERROR: unrecognized configuration parameter "transaction_timeout"
