Hey there! We've found the following might help you get unblocked faster:
🧵 Postgres database crashing due to disk space - Need volume increase immediately
🧵 "No space left on device" on Database with plenty of space
If you find the answer from one of these, please let us know by solving the thread!

Click on your volume that's mounted to the postgres service and increase the volume. The max volume for users on Pro plan is 250GB. Make sure to redeploy the service after.

hey, your volume didn't actually grow to 100gb when you upgraded your plan. railway doesn't auto-resize volumes, you gotta do it manually. click on your postgres service in the project canvas, then click on the volume attached at the bottom, go into volume settings, hit grow and increase it to 100gb, then restart your postgres service. your pg_wal is filling up because postgres is still writing to the old small volume
hope this help you
