We've missed the cutoff for migrating one of our instances from Azure Postgres Single Server to Flexible server, and now my instance is showing a Disabled state in the portal.
I have tried to initiate the migration manually but I am unable since the instance is disabled and unable to connect.
Is there any way we can gain access the data or be able to momentarily revert the status to start the migration?
Thanks
Nico

Greetings!
Since Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Single Server was officially retired on March 28, 2025 instances that missed migration deadlines have been disabled.
Could you please share the details requested via private message as it will help us to troubleshoot the issue.
Thank you,

I would like to inform you that, we have enabled the PostgreSQL single server for the next 30 days to migrate it to the Flexible Server, this is not extendable.
Use our migration service in Azure Database for PostgreSQL to simplify the migration experience. It provides both offline and online migration options. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/postgresql/migrate/migration-service/tutorial-migration-service-single-to-flexible
Auto-migration option (offline mode only) can keep server name and DNS the same, so the application won’t need any connection string changes.
Note: Public Access needs to be enabled for the Single Server, and CMK server can’t be created using auto-migration.
I hope this information helps. Please do let us know if you have any further queries.
