Database branch timing out — can't connect to DB, run queries, or see tables
🔢DB Connections

storage🌲branchingMy staging branch is completely unresponsive. Every time I try to connect, I get:
I can't see any databases, tables, or run any queries. The Neon console just hangs on the staging branch entirely.

I suspect the Nano compute might be hitting resource limits or taking too long to cold-start, causing the connection to time out before it can be established — but I'm not sure.

2. Is there a minimum warmup time I should wait after restarting a Nano branch?
3. Are there any settings I can tweak to prevent this (e.g., auto-suspend delay, connection pooling)?
4. Should I upgrade staging to Macro to match production, or is there a workaround?
Any help appreciated — staging is completely blocked right now.

Questions
1. Is this a known issue with Nano compute branches timing out on cold starts?2. Is there a minimum warmup time I should wait after restarting a Nano branch?
3. Are there any settings I can tweak to prevent this (e.g., auto-suspend delay, connection pooling)?
4. Should I upgrade staging to Macro to match production, or is there a workaround?
