Unexpected Network Cost Spike in August Billing

Hi Railway Team,

I need some help understanding my billing this month. I’m running two deployments (one application and one database). Normally my monthly cost is low, but for the Jul 14 – Aug 14, 2025 billing cycle my network cost spiked to $12, which is unusually high compared to past usage.

Here’s a breakdown from my receipt for previous period (Jul 14 - Aug 14, 2025) which is my normal usage:

  • Disk (per GB / min)
    Qty: 12,359 → $0.04

  • Network (per MB)
    Qty: 21,913 → $1.10

  • vCPU (per vCPU / min)
    Qty: 62,303 → $0.29

  • Memory (per MB / min)
    Qty: 25,131,824 → $5.82

The biggest increase seems to come from network usage, but I don’t understand why it suddenly jumped compared to previous months when usage was stable.
