Vercel AI Gateway returns 403 Forbidden access_denied error despite valid credits

Hi Vercel Team,

I’m experiencing the exact 403 Forbidden / access_denied issue with AI Gateway that many others have reported this year.

Error Details

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Forbidden.",
    "type": "access_denied"
  }
}

What I Have Confirmed

  • I still have AI credits remaining (gift credits are still there)
  • Valid credit card is attached to the account
  • Using the correct endpoint: https://ai-gateway.vercel.sh/v1
  • Freshly generated AI Gateway API Key (deleted old one and created new)
  • Tested with curl (same 403 error, no logs in Dashboard)

My Team ID: team_hPzD9pNn0d1uObz7E3PwW9v3

This is blocking all my AI calls. Could you please check for any account-level permission/scope restriction on my side and patch it if needed?

Thank you so much!

Have you got a credit card on file? Sometimes this is the culprit!

Thank you for your attention and reply!
Yes, I already have a credit card on file.Btw, it was still working normally just a few days ago, but suddenly started returning 403 access_denied since yesterday..
