How do I set maximum usage spend limits for a project?
Hello,
I'm about to deploy my app to the iOS app store and my backend is hosted with Railway. I don't know what to expect regarding usage, but I would like to set some maximum spending limits for the backend service.
I want to prevent the infamous $100,000 Amazon bill situation that has happened to some developers by mistake that has made the news.
My question is how with the Railway platform do I set a maximum, let's say $1,000 USD per month limit in usage so that I can protect myself? And if the limit is reached just kill all the backend services automatically if usage and cost explodes. I have a Hobby plan.
Thanks!

You should be able to set the limit in your account usage
Thanks for responding, I don't see that Limit slider in my account:

Is there any documentation on this before I join with my account? I just would like to clarify before I make this change. I appreciate your time.
Priority onboarding is railway's beta program, when you enable it you'll get access to features before others do. Features include regions on pro plan and limit settings, it does not include additional charges
I've been using priority onboarding for a few months now and haven't encountered any problems with it
You can also leave at any time following the same steps you used to join priority onboarding
Ok sounds good, thanks so much for clarifying. I'll signup for that and let you know if the Limit slider appears
Perfect! That worked. I was able to set a limit. Have a great day
Awesome, you too :)
How do I access priority boarding? I'm the owner of a team on a Pro account, connected my discord account and clicked on verify. But I don't see the priority-boarding channel. NB: My personal account is on hobby
@Darmok you can just follow these steps :)
Thanks. I don't see utilities. Never new that dashboard existed tbh π
It's normally at the bottom
Maybe it's because my connected account is on hobby plan?
my dashboard is a bit different. but i still can't find that utilities section
ooh, no, the command pallet you're looking for would be on railway's dashboard
hahaaha
i'm so silly lol
ok thanks. i found it
no problem :D
Thanks for helping, Fragly!
I'll go ahead and make usage limits GA.
Happy to help >:)
This is GA now btw.
