Cannot restore paused project backup to new project

auth🟢SQLCLIRLS🤷other
Hi,

I’m trying to restore a Supabase project that has been paused for over 90 days.

Dashboard restore is disabled, so I downloaded the database backup and created a new project.

Local restore via psql always fails with:
FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"

I reset the database password multiple times and used the pooler connection string exactly as shown in the dashboard.

Has anyone successfully restored a >90 day paused project backup recently?
Is there a workaround when pooler authentication fails? No Access
