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!
