Hi everyone,
I'm running into an issue connecting my GitHub account to Railway. I recently created a new Railway account using Google OAuth, tied to the same email address that's now associated with my GitHub. However, when I try to link GitHub, I get the following error:
"This GitHub account has previously been connected to a different Railway account. Please use that account or delete it in order to use this GitHub account with the current Railway account."
The problem is that the original Railway account my GitHub was connected to is no longer accessible — I don't own the domain tied to that account anymore.
I've already revoked Railway's access in my GitHub authorized applications and tried reconnecting, but the issue persists. I can see that Railway is re-added as an authorized app in GitHub, yet the authentication still fails with the same error.
I've created a Railway Help Station thread already but thought I'd drop this in here as well.
Thanks in advance!

My GitHub account Monivali2020 is stuck linked to a previous Railway account. I’ve revoked permissions and disconnected, but I can’t link it to my new account. Please unlink it manually
