Vercel deployment blocked by commit author access error after deleting account

Problem

My deployments are failing with the following error:

The deployment was blocked because the commit author does not have contributing access to the project.

I believe this is caused by cached contributor data from a previously deleted Vercel account.

Details

  • Current Vercel account: shri-studio
  • Current GitHub email: rishabha.garg06@gmail.com
  • Deleted Vercel account: rishabharak-4379
  • Deleted account email: rishabha.rak@gmail.com
  • Affected project: ufcm-app
  • GitHub repository: github.com/shri-studio/ufcm-app (private)
  • Failed commit SHA: 8488fa89c6dd466f1043b9f1150ea7e666507742

What happened

I accidentally connected my project to a second Vercel account (rishabharak-4379) using the same GitHub repository. I have since deleted that account entirely, but my primary account (shri-studio) is now blocked from deploying.

Request

Please clear any cached contributor data associated with the deleted account (rishabharak-4379) so deployments can resume on my primary account.

Thank you!

Hi @rishabhagarg06, welcome to the Vercel Community!

I’m sorry you’re facing this issue. Could you ensure your GitHub account is linked in https://vercel.com/account/settings/authentication? If it’s linked, could you try removing and relinking it?

After that try pushing a new commit and let me know if you still face the issue.
