Hey there! I have around 95$ in credits (got it from a bounty around 2 years ago) and am planning to upgrade to the Hobby Plan. Would the 5$ still be reduced from my card?

No, I'm pretty sure Railway will use your credits before charging your card
You only get billed the amount you are exceeding above the 5$. When you stay below 5$ you won't get billed. When billed your credits should be used

That's only for people who have a waived hobby plan, everyone else is billed a minimum of 5 dollars a month
Thanks for the response. But that's when you are already in the hobby plan, right? What I want to ask about is when you sign up for it
For more context, I was actually on the developer plan a long time ago until it was removed. Maybe that's why I have the Hobby Plan role?

yea I understand, and I'm PRETTY sure the same thing applies

Although if you'd prefer to be 100% sure we can wait for another person's input on it
According to the payment page (which I have just checked) it says that I'll be charged when you upgrade to the Hobby Plan. Just wanted to ask if I can link my card and that charge be redirected to my current credits

Yes I know what you're asking, I am pretty sure it will use your credits and not your card

I'll go ask about it to make sure though

No problem, I'll let you know once I get an answer

well it looks like you didn't wait for an answer

I did ask and it seems like the answer isn't super clear
Although Brody offered to refund you and then manually remove 5 dollars from your credits instead if you are charged
so you can give it a shot if you want and then get back to us on whether you were charged or not
I'm still pretty sure you won't be charged though

they had the Hobby Plan role when they opened the thread too so I think it's bugged, never got removed 🤣
