My account was recently paused due to a `Fast Origin Transfer` overage caused by a malicious traffic attack.

I have since:

* Deleted the affected project
* Implemented protective measures to prevent this from happening again
* Submit a case in Vercel Support center, the case number is #955673

I would greatly appreciate it if you could review my case and unpause my account.

Hi @wentingliao-neu, welcome to the Vercel Community!

Your account was paused for violating Vercel’s [Fair Use Guidelines](https://vercel.com/docs/limits/fair-use-guidelines). Accounts paused for violations are not automatically unpaused.

I’ve unpaused it now after a manual review.

As a reminder, please adhere to Vercel’s [Fair Use Guidelines](https://vercel.com/docs/limits/fair-use-guidelines) and [Terms of Service](https://vercel.com/docs/terms). Repeat violations can result in blocked deployments, projects, or accounts.
