Expanding EBS volume in use as PVC in kubernetes pod

I am working with a couple of k8s pods that have a PVC attached to it as an EBS volume in AWS. I made the mistake of increasing the space of the volume through the EBS console in AWS. I was thinking I could do it through the EBS console and then exec into the container on the pod and "extend the file system". After getting into the container, I realized I was not able to extend the file system directly in the container.

That is when I came across PVC and how to increase the volume through the k8s resource:

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
      {"apiVersion":"v1","kind":"PersistentVolumeClaim","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"files","namespace":"default"},"spec":{"accessModes":["ReadWriteOnce"],"resources":{"requests":{"storage":"150Gi"}},"storageClassName":"default"}}
    pv.kubernetes.io/bind-completed: "yes"
    pv.kubernetes.io/bound-by-controller: "yes"

    message: Waiting for user to (re-)start a pod to finish file system resize of
      volume on node.
    status: "True"
    type: FileSystemResizePending

I have increased the size in this resource to the same size I manually increased it to in the EBS console. Additionally, I have added the allowVolumeExpansion attribute to the StorageClass and set it to true. However, I am still seeing the old size of the volume after deleting any linked pods to this PVC. Any ideas how I can increase the PVC would be helpful.
