Hitting volume limit

Hi, I'm being told that my pg volume will be capped at 500mb. I'm on the hobby plan and your FAQ here (https://docs.railway.com/reference/volumes) says that I can actually get up to 5gb per volume. Can you fix this for me?

The reason the volume is 500mb is likely because you created it while on Trial/Free plan which has a 500mb cap. Railway doesn't automatically increase volume sizes for applications when you upgrade (I assume because it could cause downtime). You can increase it manually by clicking on the volume, going to volume settings where you'll see an option to grow the volume. You'll be able to increase the size to 5gb there.

Thanks, but I don't see any options to grow the volume - there are only options for CPU and RAM:

What you're looking at is the service settings, you can find the volume settings from the volume below the postgres service

Refer to this documentation section for more information: https://docs.railway.com/overview/the-basics#volume-settings
