Builds timing out at 45 minutes despite completing in seconds

Details:

  • Vite build completes in ~9.5 seconds
  • Build container hangs for 45 minutes after completion before timing out
  • Started happening around March 25th, 2026
  • Affects multiple Lovable projects (task-forge, consensus-insights)
  • Same issue occurs across multiple accounts
  • No code changes correlate with the failures

Deployment IDs for reference:

  • dpl_DRVnyYpEhCppG3KbFvwGrQvbkUpy
  • dpl_BuiDrUfzKAshV5K9mBhMrhAT2wSylet

The build is likely hanging during the deployment phase after your build successfully completes. That can happen if there is a large number of output files or build artifacts not being properly finalized.

First thing I’d recommend is checking for a high volume of output files. If generating thousands of files, consider using ISR instead of SSG or reduce the number of static pages generated at build time.

As a workaround, you could try prebuilt deployments. Vercel CLI will let you deploy from a local build. You can use vercel deploy --prebuilt --archive=tgz to compress the build output and then deploy it.

I hope that helps!
