Can not connect to my postgres database! | Railway | Page 1

Hi, my PostgreSQL service crashed with OOM last night (2026-04-09 around 15:48 UTC). After restarting both PostgreSQL and the backend service multiple times, the backend still cannot connect via postgres.railway.internal:5432 (connection timeout). External connection via maglev.proxy.rlwy.net:57754 also fails.

Project: oopsFrogs
Service: PostgreSQL (and oopsfrog-backend)
Error: connection to server at "postgres.railway.internal" port 5432 failed: timeout expired

Both services show as "Active" in the dashboard but the internal networking seems broken after the OOM crash. Please help.

Are there anything that stand out (eg, errors) in the deployment logs for your Postgres service?

New reply sent from Central Station thread:

Hey! Thank you for your reply, the condition resolved spontaneously, I don't know exactly what happened, but I did mistakenly add another project linked to the same service, I found it and deleted it, and the issue resolved spontaneously about 1 hour later.
