Account verification

Hi I have been using Railway for a while and now with all this pricing changes I end up looking into my account verification process and I see that my account is not verified? I read that might be because my Github Account is too new, but I have been using this account for several years and every year I have contributions. Is there something else that I need to do? I'm on developer plan

you can upgrade to the hobby plan! the hobby plan doesn't have any verification requirements

I know that, but my question is more about what makes me an unverified account? Is there a way to ask for a re-validation? I don't undestand how my active account cannot provide enough information it has been literally active since 2019 🧐

oh that, it was a little bug with migration, upgrading hobby plan fixes it

If I upgrade my account to Hobby plan I will get verified?
Brody
Brody13mo ago
absolutely one of the main reasons for the new hobby plan was to eliminate the verification stuff, verification was always getting in the way
momancho
momancho13mo ago
Got it, that makes sense One last question

so there's no way to get a free plan any longer? I've ony got two small apps hosted
momancho

Do I will get the $5 dlls credits for developer-verified accounts? Or I will loose it just because of this migration bug?

you where previous on the trial plan, you have successfully tried out railway! I can't make that call, some people do and some people don't, it depends on a whole bunch of factors

With the verified plan its says you can always get 5 free each month and maybe I only used 2 bucks the whole month

momancho13mo ago
Is there a website page or an email address that I can use to get that confirmation?
Brody
Brody13mo ago
there should have been an upgrade popup/dialogue in the dashboard
momancho
momancho13mo ago
If I enter into the dashboard I only see the project's list

please open your own thread

Besides the popup/dialogue that is not currently appearing for me, would it be possible to explore an alternative method to obtain the confirmation?
Brody

your hobby plan account status would have been programmatically determined a few days ago, this bug wont effect that upgrade to the hobby plan and check the usage page

So I guess I'm not elegible for the 5 dlls credits, is that correct? oh nvm I see the 5 dlls discount, thanks a lot
Brody
Brody13mo ago
you will have to pay 5$ but that is usage included, if your projects use 5$ then you only pay 5$, if your projects use 7$ then you only pay 7$ i hope this clears things up 🙂
momancho
momancho13mo ago
So if: I use $5 I pay $5 If I use $7 I pay $2? If I use more I pay less?
Brody
Brody13mo ago

let me clarify further, im sorry, one moment
kanhaiya lal bohra
if you use 2 $ you have to pay 5$ if you use 5$ you have to pay 5$ if you use 7$ you have to pay 7$ so you have to pay minimum 5$
Brody
Brody13mo ago
well there you have it, that is correct
momancho
momancho13mo ago
Then there is no discount?
kanhaiya lal bohra
yes no discount and if you dont you anything you still have to pay 5$
Brody
Brody13mo ago
correct
momancho
momancho13mo ago
Then the pricing breakdown is incorrect 🤔
Brody
Brody13mo ago
you where not eligible for the additional credits, sorry discount means included usage
momancho
momancho13mo ago
Oh ok, I see Thanks for clarification
kanhaiya lal bohra
and in other way we have to found another heroku alternatives
Brody
Brody13mo ago
railway's new pricing is still miles better than herokus
kanhaiya lal bohra
i am thinking about render
Brody
Brody13mo ago
heroku pricing was per dyno, railways min $5 is per account render has some bad pricing too
momancho
momancho13mo ago
I'll compare Render vs Railway vs DigitalOcean to see what full feeds better my necessities, thanks guys for your help
kanhaiya lal bohra
i am thing about digitalocean 6$ machine
Brody
Brody13mo ago
and thats 6$ per app!
kanhaiya lal bohra
yes but render free also good for me i thinkg my 4 project is not using 512 mb ram anyone know how i can get my 10$ refund ?
Brody
Brody13mo ago
you would need to email railway for that kind of request
kanhaiya lal bohra

Brody
Brody13mo ago
