Restore original project desirable-emotion deleted after trial expiry — player DB / operation wiped

Hi Railway team — urgent restore request.

What happened

Our live casino sandbox was wiped when the Railway trial ended / billing was not funded. We did not intentionally destroy the operation. After the project disappeared we can no longer open it in the dashboard (404), and player accounts / wallets / ledger are gone from our rebuild.

We also received a “Scheduled Volume Deletion” email for the original Postgres volume. The email template says “queued for deletion by someone on your team,” but the real trigger was trial/billing expiry — not an intentional wipe of our production sandbox.

ORIGINAL project (this is the one we need restored)

Dashboard URL still known (now 404 “Looks like you are lost”):

  • Postgres + volume postgres-volume (player accounts, wallets, ledger)

Volume deletion email evidence

  • From: hello@notify.railway.app
  • Date: Friday, July 31, 6:31 PM (local)
  • Subject: Scheduled Volume Deletion
  • Volume: postgres-volume
  • Environment: production
  • Project: desirable-emotion
  • Message: volume queued for deletion; permanently deleted within 48 hours
  • Email included a “Restore Volume” button

Please:

  1. Confirm whether that Restore Volume link / soft-delete window can still be honored (or extended) given this was tied to trial expiry / billing teardown of a live operation.

  2. Restore project 8ce8485e-ad37-41de-81be-f771e5302239 and/or its Postgres volume(s) from soft-delete / internal retention if anything remains.

  3. Resend active Restore Project / Restore Volume links to eduardojonas244@gmail.com.

Related IDs in the same workspace (rebuild — do not confuse with original)

We rebuilt under a new project after the outage:

  • Current project: positive-reverence
  • Project ID: 97e4e572-fa41-4298-a858-7a1da1da1c60
  • Environment ID: 9297cdd4-941b-441c-90ad-f7e084e25003

There is also a soft-deleted empty recreate (NOT the original):

  • Project ID: 802ce642-40bb-4e20-a4d8-4f01b9f772ab

Please do not treat this empty project as the restore target.

In the rebuild we still have a volume remnant:

  • Volume ID: 3ff7a25a-53a8-41e2-9f37-ce21b7b3c766 (postgres-volume)
  • UI ~843MB used vs mounted empty PG18 ~47MB / 0 app tables

If you can recover a pre-teardown block image of the ORIGINAL volume from project 8ce8485e-…, please expose it.

Ask

Restore the original desirable-emotion project / Postgres volume (project ID 8ce8485e-ad37-41de-81be-f771e5302239). Lost due to trial expiry / automatic billing teardown — this ended our operation.

If nothing is recoverable, please confirm explicitly and state the retention policy for trial-expired projects and scheduled volume deletions.

Thank you — time sensitive (live player balances).

The original project (desirable-emotion) is no longer in our recoverable-deletion records, which means the deletion window has closed and neither the project nor its volumes can be restored from either side. We are not able to recover data from a project whose deletion window has passed. Your rebuild project (positive-reverence) is running normally on Pro with two active Postgres volumes.
