Worried about cost, app running fine

I am not sure if this is the right place for this type of question, but... my app works, and so far I pay $5/month. My particular type of app however, is now meant to get hit with a query and then run said query using the app. I do have "Sleeping" turned on... but I still wonder if this is about to explode my bill. Up until this point the app was just idle. Today I added the API endpoint rigmarole (that's probably a word) and I think that means it will listen forever and siphon/filter my money away.Thoughts?

What kind of app more specifically?

What is the resource type of the primary costs for the project?

Adding an endpoint does not automatically costs you more, Railway charges for resources.

Thank you for such a quick response (although ironically once I added gunicorn, the app went down anyway :D I have the app (well... HAD the app) set to trigger if it received a "query" var sent from my other app. Once it receives the query it is supposed to start up and run a github repo. (query is, for example, 'gas stations' and then it goes out and searches 10-15 sites for me... but maybe the next time it will be 'beauty salons'That part may be immaterial. I guess I am wondering if, because I am in effect saying: hey wait til you hear back from me... that maybe it is always on and running

It is always running, Railway is not serverless.
