Deploy hooks accepted but jobs stay PENDING forever (no deployment created)

v0
1

Issue:
Calling deploy hook endpoints returns success payload and job IDs with state: "PENDING", but no deployment is ever created in the Deployments list.

Example stuck job IDs:

  • BhINuTessyPXc3B9uZlW

  • RATbnIVo3QodN4kLoeCB

  • 2WS98AlQX0fOtocctKC2

  • 9ccFR9nR97XdbOZaUEhW

What we already verified:

  • Git repo connected correctly

  • Production branch is main

  • vercel.json is valid and contains cron:

    • path /api/job-sync

    • schedule 0 */6 * * *

  • No blocking settings in vercel.json (github.enabled=false or git.deploymentEnabled=false are not present)

Observed behavior:
Deploy hook requests are accepted but remain pending and never materialize as deployments.

Hey Pauline, I’m having the exact same issue. Deploy hooks return 201 Created with a job ID (e.g., p1H42nOrGhh8Gdp6UhJk) but the job doesn’t exist in Vercel’s system at all — Vercel Support confirmed this via chat. This affects my stage branch since April 27. Git pushes to main work fine. Project ID: prj_R0YpubcsUCLeF1Wlwjvhhcl6FD2B. I’ve tried disconnect/reconnect Git repository, full GitHub App reinstall, and even created a brand new Vercel project — same issue persists. Any help would be appreciated!
