Hi Railway team,
My Railway trial expired and my MySQL deployment was removed. I do not want to upgrade to a paid plan, but I need to recover the data from my existing MySQL volume before it reaches the retention deadline.
Project: cozy-energy
Environment: production
Service: MySQL
Volume: mysql-volume
Volume ID: e0fbce4d-84a8-4379-b754-730209d13156
Mount path: /var/lib/mysql
The Railway CLI shows that the volume still exists and is healthy:
Status: Ready
Current size: approximately 153.87 MB
deletedAt: null
isPendingDeletion: false
However, when I run:
railway volume files list / --json
Railway returns:
Service MySQL has no active deployment in environment production. Deploy or restart the service before using file commands.
I understand that the normal way to access the volume requires an active deployment, but I cannot deploy because my trial has expired.
Could you please help me temporarily restore/access the existing MySQL deployment or provide a way to export/recover the data from mysql-volume without deleting or wiping the volume?
I do not want the volume deleted or modified. I only need to recover/export my existing database data.
Thank you.

We're not able to grant access to services or volumes on accounts where the trial has expired. To access your MySQL volume data, you would need to subscribe to a paid plan at your workspace billing page. Once subscribed, your services will resume and you can connect to MySQL and export your data normally.
