Hobby project paused — bot mitigation deployed, requesting manual resume

Help
1

Hi Vercel team,

My Hobby project 100x-fenok (Team: FenomenoKim’s projects) was paused on 2026-04-13 after AI crawler
traffic pushed usage to:

  • Edge Requests: 3,053,042 / 1M
  • Function Invocations: 1,485,571 / 1M
  • Fluid Active CPU: 7h 20m / 4h

I’ve since deployed mitigation:

  1. robots.txt with 19 AI bot Disallow rules (ClaudeBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, CCBot, Bytespider,
    etc.)
  2. middleware.ts with a User-Agent regex returning 403 for the same 19 bot patterns

Current rolling 30-day usage is:

  • Edge Requests: 74 / 1M
  • Function Invocations: 0 / 1M
  • All other metrics: 0

The project page still shows “Upgrade to resume service” with no free-tier resume option. Could you
manually unpause the project on the Hobby tier? The bot mitigation is verified working and current
usage is well within free limits.
