I attempted to deploy a LiveKit Python server on Railway as part of building my application. Unfortunately, the deployment did not work as expected and never became functional.

What’s concerning is that despite no successful deployment or actual usage, I’m seeing a billing charge of USD 191.75 on my account. This is completely unexpected, especially since:

The repository size is relatively small (around ~100MB).

The service never ran successfully.

There was no real traffic or usage from my side.

I’m currently in the early stage of building my app and experimenting with deployment. This charge is far beyond my budget, and I did not anticipate any significant cost from this attempt.

I’m requesting help to:

• Understand why this charge occurred despite no usage.

• Kindly review the billing and consider a adjustment, as this was not intentional usage.

• I genuinely want to continue building on Railway, but this experience has been quite stressful for an early-stage builder.
