Services Not Reachable After Invoice Payment – Possible Routing/Infrastructure Issue

Hello Railway Team,
I’m facing a critical issue with my Railway-hosted services and would appreciate your assistance. My user-id is Keshu92.
Summary of the Problem
- None of my deployed services are reachable via their public Railway URLs.
- This issue is affecting multiple projects simultaneously, which suggests it is not application-specific.
- The services appear to start successfully, but then become unreachable, and containers sometimes restart.
What I’m Observing
- Logs show:
- Server starts successfully (
Server running on PORT) - Database initialization completes
- Shortly after, the container stops or restarts
- Server starts successfully (
- No incoming requests are logged when accessing the public URL.
- DNS resolution for the Railway domains is working correctly.
- Even after regenerating domains and redeploying, the issue persists.
Important Context (Billing)
- There was an unpaid invoice ($8.05) earlier.
- This invoice has now been successfully paid (Receipt available, dated April 19, 2026).
- The issue began around the time of the billing restriction and has continued even after payment.
Troubleshooting Already Done
- Verified application code:
- Server binds to
0.0.0.0 - Uses
process.env.PORT - No crashes or unhandled exceptions
- Server binds to
- Ensured single process execution (no conflicting start scripts)
- Redeployed services multiple times
- Deleted and regenerated Railway domains
- Tested via incognito and cleared DNS cache
- Added health endpoint and request logging (no requests are reaching the app)
Key Concern
Since:
- All services are affected
- DNS works but routing does not
- Containers start but are not consistently reachable
I suspect this may be related to:
- Account-level restrictions not fully lifted after payment
- Stale or broken routing/domain mappings
- Health check or service exposure issues at the platform level
Request
Could you please:
- Verify if my account/services are fully restored after the invoice payment
- Check if there are any routing, networking, or healthcheck issues affecting my deployments
- Confirm whether my services are correctly exposed to public traffic
- Advise if any manual intervention is required on my end
This issue is blocking access to all my deployed applications, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
