The firewall identified this as coming from gptbot which is not restricted by default, so it looks like your site just got indexed for ChatGPT

This is a much heavier crawl than I'd expect though, so I'm escalating internally to check and see if this is accurate or if something was misidentified

Hi Vercel Team, I have been experiencing a similar situation, making me reach the limit on my current plan.

• Attack Origin: Washington DC, USA

• Fast Origin Transfer: 33,67 GB / 10 GB

• Edge Requests: 788K / 1M

• Edge Middleware Invocations: 760K / 1M

• Function Invocations: 758K / 1M

• Normal Traffic: Less than 50 users, minimal daily requests

Seems coming from the gptbot

Could we do something about it ? And avoiding the account to be in pause

Hi @alexis-regnaud, welcome to the Vercel Community!

Thanks for reaching out here. If you've narrowed it down to gptbot then you can use Firewall to block AI bots:

You can also create a custom rule by selecting gptbot from the Firewall > Traffic User Agent list.

Hi @kdevkh, I wanted to follow up regarding your situation with the bot attack and the edge request limits. Have you been able to implement any measures to prevent auto-pause, or do you still require assistance with this issue? Please let me know if you need more details or specific guidance.
