I'm trying to enable PITR. I don't see an Enable PITR button on my Postgres service's Backups tab, which the docs say I should be seeing: https://docs.railway.com/volumes/point-in-time-recovery

Make sure the PITR flag is enabled in https://railway.com/account/feature-flags.

PITR requires the official Railway Postgres image pinned to a specific major version (not :latest), the same prerequisite as HA conversion. Check your Postgres service's Settings to confirm you're running ghcr.io/railwayapp-templates/postgres-ssl with a pinned version tag (14, 15, 16, 17, or 18). If you're on :latest, pin the version first, redeploy, and the Enable PITR button should appear on the Backups tab.

The Postgres appears to be pinned to 17. The source image URL is: https://ghcr.io/railwayapp-templates/postgres-ssl:17
