Good morning. I don't understand what is happening to my billing. So much so that I was forced to limit it to 17 dollars. There are days when I don't even log into my account, but the cost always goes up. I ask that you check what is happening, and clarify me so that I can take the necessary measures, if the error is mine. If possible, send an email as well.

When you host on Railway, you're charged for the cumulative resource usage for your projects, meaning the cost of your projects will go up over time as they use more and more resources
If you want to lower the cost of hosting on Railway you can try optimizing your applications to use less resources, or enable features like app sleep mode to pause your app and only wake it up when it's being used
my recommendation would be to see which resource is causing the costs (you can view that in your account usage page) and then go from there

Thank you very much for the clarification. I'm studying Typebot and I have no experience in technologies.
Can you give me more suggestions? How do I turn on "App sleep to pause your app and wake it only when it's being used"?
I thank you in advance.a year ago
You can turn app sleeping on in your service settings, from there you'll see an app sleeping option below the Deploy section
More info on App Sleeping: https://docs.railway.com/reference/app-sleeping
If you're deploying a prebuilt application like Typebot then your options are limited, beyond app sleeping I'm not sure there is much else you can do to limit resource usage for that application, the only other option would be deploying a different application that doesn't require as much resource usage
