My PostgreSQL database in my DEVELOPMENT environment has become completely unresponsive. All queries timeout after 10 seconds.
**What’s happening:**
- Database host: helium
- Port 5432 is TCP-reachable, but PostgreSQL is not processing any queries
- Error: “Connection terminated due to connection timeout”
- This affects both my application code AND direct psql/SQL tool connections
- Production is fine - this is only affecting my dev environment
**What I’ve tried:**
- Restarted the application multiple times
- Attempted to reprovision the database (still assigned to helium)
- Verified DATABASE_URL and credentials are correct
- Tested with both app code and command-line connections
**Impact:**
I cannot develop or test any changes to my application.
**Request:**
Could the helium database server be restarted, or my dev database moved to a working server? Ideally the problem can be fixed without me needing to move anything.
I’ve also emailed support@replit.com but wanted to post here in case this is affecting others or there’s a known fix.
Thank you!
