Vercel deploy authorization page shows "Unexpected Error Occurred" (500 error)

Help

Hi everyone,

I’m having a problem with my project on Vercel. I have an open-source repo on GitHub, and contributors are sending pull requests. Vercel shows a check on the PR called “Authorization required to deploy”. When I click it to approve the deployment, it takes me to this page:

vercel.com/git/authorize?team=…

And instead of approving, it shows:

“Unexpected Error Occurred - Please try reloading the page.”

The CODE and ID fields on that error page are also empty/broken (they just show placeholder text, not real values).

I checked the browser console and the request to the authorize page is returning a 500 error (server error on Vercel’s side).

What I already tried, but none of it fixed the problem:

  • Checked my GitHub connection in Vercel project settings - it shows connected and healthy
  • Approved a pending permission request for the Vercel GitHub App
  • Disconnected and reconnected the GitHub repo in Vercel
  • Tried in incognito mode (in case it was a cookie issue)
  • Checked the Vercel status page - no incident listed

My project details:

  • Team: adittyass-projects
  • Project: iloveagents
  • Plan: Hobby (free)

This is blocking me from approving preview deployments for contributor PRs. Has anyone else seen this error recently? Any idea how to fix it, or is this a bug on Vercel’s side that needs to be fixed by the team?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks a lot for the quick fix! I just checked and the authorization page is working fine now, and I was able to approve the deployment for the PR without any issue. Really appreciate the help!
