7/10 High

Railway stops running services once the $5 trial credit is exhausted, even if the application was previously live and running in production. This creates service disruption for new users transitioning to paid plans.

Services stop when you exhaust trial credits... Once that's used up, your services stop running until you upgrade to a paid plan. This applies even if the app was previously live.
