Thanks, I am also getting this unusual error on blog.6nok.org.

"This Deployment is paused by the owner.

Your connection is working correctly.

Vercel is working correctly."

Maybe a cost based trigger on the vercel project?

Exactly, I had a spend limit since I didn’t want to break the bank. It’s back up now.

I'd be very interested, is there someone who could elaborate please?

I'm terrified using a service like Vercel because I heard about the massive cost trap that can hit you hard and I don't know if there is any alternative for (easily & quickly) hosting NextJS apps.

Its relatively straightforward to host a nextjs app in a docker container and route it with nginx and cloudflare, but you probably wont get as good uptime

Thank you for the advice, didn't consider using docker instead and saw a lot of potential alternatives to Vercel for self-hosting which support a great deployment experience (Caprover, Dokploy, Coolify, Stacktape etc.).

Better uptime than having to take it down bc it got hugged though

That’s exactly why I put the spend limit, and this was the first time to confirm that it actually works.

Good to know that this is possible, thank you!
