Network Egress alone (~370GB

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

Solved

Your applications are generating the egress.
