Understanding usage
Hey yall, I just got back my first billing from railway and im a bit confused. My project is empty as far as the database goes however im being charged almost $10 for memory? It states that I have 42,857,308 MB used?
I look at my metrics and the memory for all 3 of my services total about 740 so im assuming its times that per minute of the month....however even then it would only be 32,412,000.
Additionally id probably like some help on optimization so that im not using so much memory, ive heard people use railway for crud and not exceed the 5 dollar limit yet im over the limit when my database isnt even filled with anything and its very concerning once I start actually putting data in it.

Project ID:
N/Awell that number is going to be the memory for everything running in your account, not just the database
ah so the other 10 mil must be from the othjer service
still super high
what kind of database are you running
MySQL
mysql does use a lot of memory by default
its using over 500 with non of the tables filled
