Hi Railway Support,
I'm experiencing unexpectedly high Network Egress on my PostgreSQL project (WebCraft vector DB).
Current bill: $18.55 for Network Egress alone (~370GB)
The issue:
- My application has minimal usage (very few queries per day)
- Ingress is nearly 0 MB
- But Egress shows 500MB–1GB spikes every few minutes, 24/7
- CPU is 0.0 vCPU — no application activity
This pattern strongly suggests the egress is generated by Railway's internal metrics collector or backup system, not my application.
Could you please:
1. Confirm what is generating this egress traffic
2. Clarify if internal Railway monitoring traffic is billed as user egress
3. Consider issuing a credit if this is caused by platform-side processes
I've attached screenshots of the Public Network Traffic graph showing the discrepancy between near-zero ingress and constant high egress.
Thank you
