Hello Vercel Support Team,
I am writing to request a manual unpause of my Hobby plan account (Vercel Username/Scope: francobenedetti).
1. What caused the overuse
My account hit the serverless function execution limit due to automated background ingestion crons (running via Inngest) scanning multiple YouTube and RSS feed channels. These cron loops ran continuously on the staging deployment, generating high volumes of serverless execution hours.
2. How I resolved the issue
I have redesigned and optimized the ingestion architecture to prevent this from happening again:
-
Background Ingest Deactivation: I implemented a Hub Pause/Unpause curation control. When paused, the background cron queries now bypass feed scans entirely, halting automated serverless executions.
-
Manual Override Limits: Ingestions can now only be triggered on-demand by a curator clicking a manual refresh on an individual source or publication tile.
-
Database & Repository Ready: I have already updated my Supabase database to set all hubs to
pausedand successfully committed/pushed all code optimizations to GitHub. The project is completely pre-configured for a low-footprint run and ready for deployment immediately upon unpause.
3. Next Steps & Subscription Intent
I am a sole developer building this project. I want to assure you that my intention is to upgrade to a Vercel Pro subscription once the testing phase is complete and the application goes live for production.
To deploy these optimized code changes and verify the new controls, I need my account to be reactivated.
Could you please review and manually unpause my account so that Vercel can automatically deploy the pushed changes?
Thank you for your support and assistance!
Best regards,
Franco Benedetti
