Hi Vercel team,

## Problem

My Vercel Blob storage got blocked after I accidentally downgraded from Pro to Hobby.

## Current Behavior

My billing cycle has not ended yet (until March 13), but the store is showing **“Your store is blocked”** and I cannot access my files.

The store contains around \~6000 images used by my application, so the system has stopped working.

## Important Details

* Billing cycle still active
* Blob storage blocked immediately after downgrade
* Cannot upgrade again from billing page
* Cannot pay the pending invoice
* Support ticket opened but no response for 40+ hours

The images still appear accessible through CLI (`vercel blob list`), so the data is still there.

I urgently need temporary access to the Blob store so I can migrate the images to another storage provider.

```
Your store is blocked
```

**Case number:** `#1022392`

Any help from the Vercel team would be greatly appreciated.

This looks like a bug in our downgrade process that doesn't respect the billing cycle. I have temporarily unsuspended your store but it will re-suspend soon if it's still over the limit 

I'll ping the Blob team about the bug and see if we can get it fixed
