Description:

I upgraded my workspace plan to Hobby, which should provide 5GB of memory per replica. However, my Enarm-bot service is still limited to approximately 1GB (0.99999744 GB actual limit), causing the service to crash due to memory exhaustion.

Service Details:

Service ID: 7b999bc3-5469-4717-a1e5-3b5d6f43e000

Service Name: Enarm-bot

Project ID: bf448826-23e5-4274-81d9-6103ea55379b

Environment: production

Current Metrics:

Memory Usage: ~1GB (99.9% of limit)

Memory Limit: ~1GB (should be 5GB for Hobby plan)

Service Status: Crashed (1 of 1 replicas)

I have restarted the service and redeployed, but the memory limit did not update. The plan appears to be set correctly in the dashboard, but the backend is not applying the increased memory allocation.

Please verify that the Hobby plan upgrade was processed correctly and apply the correct 5GB memory limit to this service.

The backend didn't automatically apply the new 5GB limit to your Enarm-bot service. In settings-> resources tab, manually adjust the memory allocation in the settings for that specific service to ensure the correct amount is assigned.


Try to delete your service, and create a new one.

Try to delete your service, and create a new one.

That is unnecessary for configurations and variables. Also manual adjustment of memory (replica limits) in service settings->deploy->replica limits is advised in railway official docs.


Memory limit for hobby plan is 8GB, 5GB is limit for volume

If you're talking about service memory limit, you can go to service settings and increase the replica limit on that page

But if you're talking about volume (which has 5GB in limit), you can click on the volume and click "Live Resize" to increase the limit

He mentioned memory limits in the posted thread.


I know, but he said 5GB so I think he's talking about volume

sorry guys, im not that technical, now it shows this error: Description:

I'm experiencing repeated build failures on the Metal builder infrastructure. Three consecutive deployments have failed before Railpack produced any output, with no error logs generated. The service is now offline.

Failed Deployments:

Deployment ID: 8a545d08-51e8-496d-a8b6-bd192b62e3aa (2026-07-15 02:48:33)

Commit: 33ae7d3d (reactivar command)

Service Details:

Service ID: 7b999bc3-5469-4717-a1e5-3b5d6f43e000

Service Name: Enarm-bot

Project ID: bf448826-23e5-4274-81d9-6103ea55379b

Runtime: Python 3.11

Repository: floresemiliano2302-lgtm/Enarm-bot (main branch)

Error Pattern: The build fails ~200ms after code snapshot completes, before Railpack executes. No dependency installation logs, no provider detection, no error messages. The source code, dependencies, and configuration are all valid - the same commits previously deployed successfully.

Additional Issue: I also have a memory limit issue: my Hobby plan should provide 5GB, but the service is limited to ~1GB (0.99999744 GB). Please address both issues in this investigation.

Please investigate the Metal builder failure and either repair it or reassign my builds to a functioning builder.
