What happens to server when I cancel Pro subscription?
I want to pause payment as the server was used for a time-limited event. However, the event is likely an annual occurrence. My question is, is it possible to pause/cancel the subscription without deleting the user data (hosted with mongodb) so it can be resumed when I restart the subscription? thx!

afaik railway does not say how long they keep your data for if the plan is not paid for, so I would not leave the database shut down for anywhere near a year, take a backup before you stop the plan

one to two months would be a safe bet, anything over that, take a backup.
in fact if the data matters at all, take a backup anyway as railway is never responsible for data loss unless there was a critical failure with the platform
i see. thanks for the info!
no problem!
Just to clarify, so the best practice is to just backup my db, then cancel subscription. When I restart subscription, just redeploy server with the backup, is that correct?
correct!
ok thx!
