Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: Seeing the entry RAILWAY* VOLUME on your bank or credit card statement indicates a monthly recurring charge from Railway Corp. for persistent block storage disk attachments, database volume retention, or cloud compute execution. Railway is an infrastructure platform that enables developers to deploy web applications and databases without managing underlying servers.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears regularly because persistent SSD volumes reserve dedicated disk storage for databases like PostgreSQL, Redis, or MySQL continuously. Even when your application container is sleeping or idle, allocated storage incurs monthly costs based on provisioned gigabytes. Software developers and engineering hobbyists frequently attach storage disks during testing and forget to delete them.
Don’t recognize it? Common scenarios
Unreviewed registry note: Review these typical scenarios if you are unsure why a storage volume charge was billed to your payment card.
- Unreviewed registry note: A persistent volume was attached to a template database (e.g., PostgreSQL or Redis) and retained data even after the code was removed.
- Unreviewed registry note: An ongoing Pro subscription ($20/mo) or Hobby plan ($5/mo) renewed automatically.
- Unreviewed registry note: Database disk capacity expanded automatically to accommodate uploaded assets.
Frequently Asked Questions
