“Dormant deployments were quietly consuming storage”: Why Vercel tightened its free-tier rules
TL;DR
Vercel has updated its free Hobby plan to delete older deployments immediately if they exceed a 10GB storage limit, responding to increased deployment volumes. This change eliminates the previous 30-day retention period for eligible deployments over the limit.
✦ Why It Matters
Review your deployment storage usage to avoid losing older projects unexpectedly.
Key Takeaways
- Monitor your deployment storage to avoid immediate deletions.
- Upgrade to Pro for better storage and retention options.
- Optimize deployment outputs to stay under the 10GB limit.
- Utilize the 30-day recovery period for deleted deployments.
How It Works
Vercel's updated policy allows for immediate deletion of older deployments when the 10GB storage limit is exceeded. This helps manage resources effectively by prioritizing active projects over dormant ones.
