Volume lost after payment suspension

need urgent recovery check

Project: BOT WhatsApp, environment "Bot WhatsApp - Breno", service: n8n.

My payment failed and the project was suspended; I paid the outstanding invoice and services came back online, but the n8n service now shows no persistent volume attached (checked Settings > Volumes — empty), and there's no orphaned volume visible in the project canvas either. n8n is starting fresh with 0 workflows instead of restoring my old data.

Can you check server-side whether the original volume for this service still exists (even detached) and help reattach or restore it? This is urgent — it contains production workflow data.

The n8n service has no volume attached, and there is no detached or orphaned volume for it anywhere in the project. Without a volume, n8n's data lived on ephemeral container storage, which was discarded when the service redeployed after payment resumed. That data cannot be recovered from our side. Going forward, attaching a volume to the n8n service will persist its data (including workflows) across redeploys.
