Just a small heads up. 14 days ago I changed my service and db to run on Metal, and I had no issues.
Today, suddenly, lots of users reported not being able to log in. As soon as I check the railway site I see this picture.
Thing is, it "Automatically switched me to metal" even though I was already in metal for two weeks, but not only that, it deployed a version that was a week old, which can be seen in the other picture.
I don't know why this happened, or why did it "auto switch" despite already being on metal, but the deploying a very old commit broke all the clients data as there had been a big update between those versions.

Likely reason for the redeploy is the recent incident in <#846875565357006878>
it deploying a 2 week old version is definitely funny though, it's supposed to redeploy the most recent active version
It was absolutely funny getting hundreds of complaints from affected users.

oh sorry I didn't mean to make fun your situation, I meant funny as'n weird, not funny as'n humorous
Yeah, totally get it! NGL, It would be hilarious in many other contexts haha

Just to clarify, your last active deploy wasn't that old commit, right?

Also would you be able to provide a service id?
1 was the last working deploy I had done
2 was the week old commit that got deployed by this migration that happened on railway's end
3 was the redeploy that happened when I saw it failing and was like "Weird, let's try the good ol' reset before freaking out"
4 was when I realized it was a week old commit suddenly, and re deployed the latest one.
