My trial expired and my MySQL service is offline. I have critical educational lesson content data (lessons, questions, lesson blocks) that I built over many months for an EdTech platform.
I am a developer from Ethiopia and do not have access to an international Visa/Mastercard to add a payment method to reactivate my account.
I only need 30 minutes of temporary MySQL access to run a mysqldump and export my data to a new database. After that I will move to Aiven permanently.
Project: serene-perfection
MySQL Service ID: 22e97f81-a27c-4c39-80c7-eea79d5ff961
Account: soninaf21
Please help — this is months of work that I cannot recreate.

Your trial has expired, so the workspace is on No Plan and services are offline. The MySQL service does have a volume attached, which means your data is retained on our storage and not lost. To regain access and run your export, you would need to subscribe to the Hobby plan ($5/month) from your workspace billing page, at which point your services resume and you can connect and run mysqldump yourself. We are not able to grant temporary access to services on accounts without an active plan.

I am a developer from Ethiopia. I do not have an international card. Is there any other way to access my data for export? I only need 30 minutes.

A bank-issued credit or debit card is the only accepted payment method on self-serve plans, and we are not able to grant temporary service access on accounts without an active subscription. Your data is safe on the attached volume and will remain there, so whenever you are able to subscribe to the Hobby plan ($5/month) your MySQL service will come back online and you can run your export then.

Hi, I'm a developer from Ethiopia. My trial expired and I cannot add an international card. I have critical educational lesson data in my MySQL service (project: serene-perfection, account: soninaf21) that represents months of work. Is there any way a staff member can help me export my data? I only need 30 minutes of access. I'm happy to move to a paid plan when I can get an international payment method.

We understand this data matters to you, and we wish we could help directly. Unfortunately we are not able to manually export data or grant temporary access on your behalf, even with staff involvement. Your data is safe on the attached volume with no deletion deadline, so it will be waiting whenever you are able to subscribe and run your export.
