DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED
what this Vercel error means
How it shows up
503 DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED
What it means
Vercel is not serving this deployment because it has been paused, for example by your spend management settings, an account limit, or a terms of service issue. The response is 503 Service Unavailable.
The usual cause in an AI-built app
AI-generated code can call a function far more often than intended, for example a fetch inside a React effect that runs on every render, until usage reaches the spend amount or plan limit that pauses the project.
