Production database stuck after AWS us-east-1 outage - Need help

roject ID: cffllblnrjbjaltgtoqfRegion: us-east-1 (Free tier)

Problem:
My production database got stuck during yesterday's AWS outage and hasn't recovered even though the outage is resolved. All connection attempts fail with:

FATAL: Unable to check out process from the pool due to timeout

What I've tried:
  • ✅ Restarted pooler multiple times (15→20→15)
  • ✅ Added ?pgbouncer=true to connection string
  • ✅ Redeployed application
  • ✅ Waited 12+ hours
  • ✅ Submitted support ticket (SU-282150) - no response yet
  • ❌ Nothing clears the stuck connectionsMy dev database in us-east-2 works fine - same code, different region. Proves this is infrastructure, not code.What I need:Free tier doesn't have "Restart Database" button. My production site has been down for 12+ hours.Is there any way to:
  • Manually kill stuck connections?
  • Force a database restart on Free tier?
  • Get faster support response?Should I just upgrade to Pro temporarily to get the restart button?Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
