Vercel has not allowed new projects to be connected to repos in Github Organizations (public or private) while on the hobby plan for over a year now, but older projects were grandfathered in and there were some workarounds like downgrading from a paid plan after setting it up

Last week this was changed to

• disallow deploys from existing private Github org repos
• allow deploys and new projects from public Github org repos

We did send out an email about this ahead of time that said something along the lines of: in order to deploy your app, you can

• move to a personal private repo instead of an organization repository
• make your organization repository public
• upgrade to Pro. A pro subscription is required to deploy from a private organization repository

Just checked my mailbox and all the emails from vercel back to 2022. I never received that email...

This is just not true. I have a project created february this year where automatic deploys where working (without any project downgrades, it was always a hobby project). There were no mentions of this in the docs at the time. And I have also received no such email.

My project was created around November/December 2024

I also never received any communication that this was happening.
