Your volume is full ("No space left on device"), which is why PostgreSQL cannot start. Upgrading your plan does not automatically resize existing volumes. You need to manually increase the volume size using the Live Resize option in the volume settings. On the Hobby plan, you can resize up to 5GB.

Your volume resize from 500 MB to 5 GB didn't fully apply on our end, which is why your database was still running out of space. We've corrected this and redeployed your service. You should now have ~5 GB of available disk space.
