The auto-deploy setting shows me that it's not available, yet railway app is installed to that github organization with access to "all repos"
I suspect that it's becuase my personal acc is trying to connect repo under organization. auto-deploy works for another repo that is personal to github personal
I am not really sure what else to do. Cna you please healp?

The issue is likely that the Railway GitHub App is installed on your personal GitHub account, but the repo lives under an organization. Here's how to fix it:
- Grant Railway access to the organization
Go to github.com/settings/installations → find the Railway app → click Configure → under Repository access, make sure the org repo is included (or select "All repositories").
- If the org doesn't appear at all
The Railway app may not be installed at the org level. Go to github.com/organizations//settings/installations and install the Railway app from there.
- Reconnect the repo in Railway
In your Railway service settings → disconnect the GitHub source → reconnect it by searching for the repo name instead of pasting the URL.
- Last resort
Uninstall and reinstall the Railway GitHub App entirely.
The root cause is exactly what you suspected — Railway is authenticating via your personal account, which doesn't have the org-level GitHub App installation needed for autodeploy to work.
