Click on the volume under your Postgres service and grow the volume. Make sure to redeploy the database afterwards.

Yeah your volume's full. Quick fix

  1. Go to your Postgres service in Railway

  2. Click on the Volume tab

  3. Increase the size (add like 5-10GB depending on what you need)

  4. Hit save then redeploy the database service

    Also might wanna check what's eating all your space

You need to click the volume directly. You can't access volume configurations through a service.
