How long does it usually take to verify my account?

I'm trying out Railway because my website's hosting service is temporarily not working and I need my website back up ASAP for free for just a day or two until I figure this out. Railway seems like the best option for my tech stack I've seen, but if it's gonna take any longer than an hour or two to verify, I need to know so I can find a different service. I can't access the full free trial until I'm verified.

I believe Railway's verification step is instant, or at the very least I've never seen or heard of it taking longer than just initial sign up. I signed up like 3 years ago so idk if that has changed since though

From what I understand, you sign up with GitHub and assuming your GitHub isn't new or inactive (and isn't seen as suspicious otherwise), you'll instantly be able to use the trial/free tier

I could be wrong though
-# I should probably go through the onboarding process again so I can answer with more confidence in the future

My GitHub account is old and extremely active, so I'm not sure why it hasn't verified yet then.

would it be possible to show a screenshot of the verification step you say you're stuck on?

that's extremely odd. I don't know what would possibly flag my account

yea, I'm not sure either, they don't make the validation details public (otherwise it could be exploited I imagine)

yeah that's pretty understandable. I feel like it could use some improvements though, whatever it does

Maybe I'll try Render and just write a keep-alive script. Thanks for the help
