Does setting DATABASE_URL instead of DATABASE_PRIVATE_URL affect egress usage?

As the title says, I have a service that uses sqlx and I had to set DATABASEURL instead of DATABASEPRIVATE_URL, because otherwise it wouldn't work.
Currently I'm seeing slight usage on the database egress, even if I'm not connecting directly to the db frequently.

I was curious whether I would get different egress readings depending on which type of database url I was using.

Your app should use the private URL, as it will not incur egress charges. If you are using the "public" URL, it will indeed cause egress charges

If you are using an older deploy of the database, you have those variables you listed. If you create a new database, you will have DATABASE_URL and DATABASE_PUBLIC_URL which is a better solution for identification on which is which

@MantisInABox can you check it and see if you can discover why I can't enable the new builder environment?

Unfortunately, I'm not a team member, so I cannot see your projects, but you are sure that you have a nixpacks.toml file in that root directory?
