Hey there, I have a similar issue to this thread here #1172865417249824838 message except I am trying to migrate from another service. My database is more than 5GB which is preventing me from migrating. The pricing page does not mention this limit but implies that it will cost $0.25 / GB (where 10GB of storage which is way more than I need for a decently long time, would cost $2.50 per month, half of the included $5 of usage on my very low resource consuming app. This is perfect). Not only that but the account usage page also has the same pricing for storage ($0.000006 / GB / Minute) and states "Your plan includes up to 8 GB of RAM, 8 vCPU, and 100 GB of Shared Disk" which to me implies I should be able to store up to 100GB assuming I am willing to pay for that usage. But this seems strange/practically unfeasible in conjunction with the 5GB limit on a volume. Are people really deploying 20 maxed out volumes on the plan that is intended for "indie hackers and developers to build and deploy personal projects?"

Would it be possible to get a volume size increase for my project(s)? I see that there is a stated limit in the settings for the volume but it is not editable. I would love to use Railway as it is a very cool and easy-to-use application. There is some language about "add-on volume" on a pricing page but I can't seem to find any more information about that in the docs.

It would be very unfortunate to have spent $5 just to have learned about this limit that is somewhat buried in the docs that I admittedly didn't consult (thanks to me virtually not needing to since Railway is so easy and straightforward to use) despite doing a lot of research on pricing and usage beforehand.

Thank you!

100gb of shared disk refers to the empherial container storage, volumes are persistent storage.

@viral geyser Hi. Can you share the size limit you need? Happy to accommodate any reasonable size limits you need.

Also, looks like your project is empty?

They edit the volume size directly

Ok I remade my volume

My bad removing it, I just saw that my projected usage estimation was over $5 because of me trying to import my db. I know it probably would have gone down but i just wanted to play it safe
