The current live instance is deployed to Heroku using a free account.

This imposes usability limitations, such as:

sleeping of the app after 1 hour of inactivity (results in a start-up delay, which affects user experience)
the Postgres dataclip has a very limited capacity (10K rows)

In addition to upgrading to a paid account on Heroku, re-visit the possibility of using PythonAnywhere as the deployment target.

Note: in order to prevent the app from sleeping, a cron job can be set up to hit it periodically.
