Project: loyal-unity | Environment: production | Plan: Hobby
Issue: postgres-volume is 500MB at 99% capacity. Postgres is crash looping with this exact error:
"could not write to file pg_wal/xlogtemp.26: No space left on device"
No resize option visible in volume Settings tab. Tried redeploying and pg_resetwal via Custom Start Command — both fail because disk has zero free space.
Need: Volume resized from 500MB to 5GB without wiping data. All n8n workflows are stored in this Postgres instance and there are no backups.

Your Hobby plan supports volumes up to 5GB, and Live Resize is available. To access it, click the volume itself on the project canvas (not the Postgres service's Settings tab), then click the "Live Resize" button. Since your volume is at 100% capacity, the system will automatically perform an offline resize with data integrity checks, which will restart the service and cause brief downtime. Given that you have no backups and Postgres crashed mid-write, we strongly recommend creating a backup immediately after the resize completes and Postgres starts successfully, as WAL corruption is possible when the disk fills during writes.
