you likely have a hardcoded database url somewhere, hardcoded to the shut down legacy database, please update that to use reference variables for the new database https://docs.railway.app/guides/variables#referencing-another-services-variable

Correct it was a vaiable name that was not in sync with new settings.
just make sure you are using a reference variable, that way it can't go out of sync
