Hobby plan active but 402 exceed_egress_quota still blocking service

Hi Railway Team,

My Railway workspace was upgraded to the Hobby plan, and the subscription is active. Billing shows the $5 usage-based subscription successfully.

However, my production service is still returning HTTP 402 with the error: exceed_egress_quota.

Current usage is $0.00, with $5 included usage available. The deployment is showing ACTIVE / Deployment successful.

I have already redeployed the service 4 times after upgrading to Hobby, but the 402 restriction is still present.

Project: independent-beauty

Service: QuoteGen-cursor-ready-5

Environment: production

Please check why the egress restriction is still active and help restore my service.

Thank you

Have you tried doing a full hard restart via the Railway CLI

Since your billing page shows the Hobby plan active with $0.00 usage and $5 included allowance, but gateway proxy is throwing a 402 exceed_egress_quota error, this is usually caused by a sync lag between Stripe/Railway's billing webhook and the API gateway proxy caching the old limit, or a scope mismatch.

Could you confirm a couple of things ?

  1. Are you certain the Hobby plan was applied to the exact team/workspace that owns the independent-beauty project, rather than your personal account or a separate workspace?
  2. Have you tried pushing a fresh build using the Railway CLI (railway up) rather than using the dashboard's redeploy button?

If it's scoped correctly, dashboard redeploys maybe don't flush the cache. Try modifying an environment variable or running a fresh deployment via CLI.
