Database stuck in recovery mode, cannot resize disk

🔢DB ConnectionsSolved
Issue:
Database crashed due to disk full (98%) and is now stuck in recovery mode. Cannot execute any queries - even
SELECT 1
SELECT 1
fails.

Environment:
- Plan: Pro
- Project ref: tgnsnptrnrdhamtdfuyn
- Region: Seoul

Details:
- Disk: 26.47 / 27 GB used (98%)
- Dashboard shows: Database 0GB, System 26.47GB
- 6-hour cooldown active (~4hr remaining)
- Error:
sql_state_code: 57P03
sql_state_code: 57P03
- "the database system is in recovery mode"
- All connections fail with: "Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established"

What happened:
1. Large bulk data insert exceeded disk capacity
2. Project restart attempted from Dashboard
3. DB now stuck in recovery mode
4. Recovery likely cannot complete due to no disk space

Already tried:
- Project restart (made it worse)
- Support ticket opened

Question:
Is there any way to bypass the cooldown for emergency disk expansion? Or any other workaround?
