“Dormant deployments were quietly consuming storage”: Why Vercel tightened its free-tier rules

Vercel changed its deployment storage policy on the free Hobby tier: when exceeding the 10 GB limit, old unprotected deployments are deleted immediately instead of after 30 days. Each project keeps three latest production deployments and three latest deployments of any type instead of the previous ten.

• When exceeding 10 GB, old unprotected deployments are deleted immediately
• Keeps 3 latest production deployments and 3 any instead of 10
• Vercel processes over 10 million deployments per day — 6x growth in a year
• Deleted deployments can be restored within 30 days
