GitHub repository picker still lists previous account after switching linked GitHub account

After changing the GitHub account linked to my existing Railway account, Account Settings correctly shows the new GitHub username, but the service Source Repo picker still lists repositories from the previous GitHub account. Searching for either of the two private repositories in the new account returns "No repositories found - try a different search."

Checks completed:

  • The previous GitHub integration was disconnected and the new account connected.
  • Railway App is installed on the new personal GitHub account with access limited to the two intended repositories. Both are listed in the GitHub installation settings.
  • Logged out of Railway and signed back in using Continue with GitHub.
  • Refreshed the page and checked from two browser sessions, including a desktop browser. The same mismatch persists.
  • Existing service sources, domains and deployments have not been changed as part of these connection checks.

This appears to be an account-level integration/repository discovery issue, so no specific service is attached to this public report. Could Railway investigate whether the repository list or installation association needs refreshing, and advise a supported way to resolve this without granting access to all repositories or recreating existing services?

For privacy, account email, repository names, project IDs, screenshots and credentials are intentionally omitted. Please provide a secure channel if identifying details are needed.

The repository picker caches the GitHub installation's repo list, which can go stale after switching linked accounts. In the project canvas, click AddGitHub RepositoryRefresh to force a cache refresh. If the new repos still do not appear, fully uninstall the Railway GitHub App from your new GitHub account at github.com/settings/installations, then reinstall it with access to the two intended repositories.
