My MySQL database stopped working a few days ago. I’ve tried restarting and redeploying it, and while the UI shows it was deployed successfully, I still can’t connect to it—either from the Railway database view, which gets stuck on “Attempting to connect to the database,” or locally.

Here are the deployment logs:
