I’m using Railway PRO to deploy both my application and database, but I’m finding it difficult to understand the usage charts. I’m not sure how much resource capacity I have with the paid plan, whether the platform will automatically scale on demand and reflect that in the billing, or if I need to scale manually. If manual scaling is required, I’d like to know when I should do it and how to manage it properly.

With the PRO plan, you receive $20 in monthly usage credits, and this amount is always billed regardless of whether you fully use it. After those credits are consumed, your charges switch to resource-based usage pricing.
As a PRO user, your services automatically have access to up to 32 GB of RAM and 32 vCPUs. This capacity is available without any manual configuration, and you’re only billed for the resources your application actually consumes.
Manual scaling is only necessary when you want to perform horizontal scaling, ie adding replicas to handle more load. For typical vertical scaling (CPU/RAM needs), Railway automatically allocates resources based on demand, and your billing reflects real usage.
