Vercel 100 Deployment Limit
From October 6th to October 12th, Vercel service wasn’t working, but I discovered it late because I had cache.
**October 10th**
While purchasing the [soosooland.com](http://soosooland.com) domain, there were many modifications. I had games in my GitHub repo, and when I created a public folder to put the sitemap in, Vercel couldn’t find the index and the games weren’t connecting. So I removed the public folder and moved it back to the root, but suddenly a red X mark appeared. The games and platform showed 404 errors, and it said I exceeded the daily deployment limit and to wait 16 hours. It also said something in English that I wasn’t entirely sure about, but it asked me to pay $20 to connect.
Only Worpuzz and Worpuzz Mate were accessible.
**October 11th**
Yesterday only Worpuzz and Worpuzz Mate worked, but now Numtter and Numpplex are also accessible.
I was told that doing anything would restart the timer, so I did nothing, but 17 hours still remained.
I decided to make the games that could be made public available to reduce Vercel’s burden, so I removed the Vercel addresses and connected the games with GitHub addresses.
**October 12th**
Even though I did nothing, the time actually increased to 18 hours remaining.
When I checked Vercel, the last record was from 3 days ago and there was no other record.
Claude suggested 2 solutions:
1. Click redeploy or deploy in the Vercel dashboard
1. Make a small edit to any file in GitHub (add/delete a single space)
So I tried option 1, and even though it said deploy was successful, it was still 404. At this point, I should have done option 2, but I was telling Claude that option 1 didn’t work.
Claude had me thoroughly search through Vercel.
I spent a long time examining every corner… That process was too long, so deleted…
Eventually, Claude said they understood and told me to do option 2 from earlier.
So I went to the index file, clicked edit, adjusted some lines, and saved it. Ridiculously, the red X mark disappeared and it was fixed. So I fixed the blocked games by just adjusting the lines and resolved the issue.
I hid everything I did wrong and announced:
“Dear users, we apologize for the inconvenience. We’re moving to our new address: [soosooland.com](http://soosooland.com). We promise a better experience at the new address.”
Claude told me to prevent this from happening again by not making small incremental fixes, but instead testing multiple times and fixing everything at once. But I still haven’t broken that habit.
Also, when Claude tells me to do 1, 2, 3, and 4, I need to do all of them, but I have a habit of only doing one or two.
Lastly, since Vercel’s deployment limit is 100 times per day, when the same symptoms occurred a few days ago, I finished all the file modifications regardless of whether the X mark was showing or not, waited a day, and then fixed the errored files by adjusting the lines.
