Vercel deployment blocked (initial deployment was OK)

(edited)

I’m experiencing a “Deployment Blocked” error on my Hobby account.

Error Message

The Deployment was blocked because GitHub could not associate the committer with a GitHub user. The Hobby Plan does not support collaboration for private repositories. Please upgrade to Pro to add team members.

Context

Project was successfully deployed once then it got “blocked”.
Git repository is private.
I am the sole owner and the only member of this project.
My Vercel account email is verified and set as Primary and it matches GitHub.

Please help.

There are many other similar posts advising to match the emails but my email is the same and GitHub is authenticated (reconnected today).

The “DELETED ACCOUNT” message typically means Vercel lost the connection between your Git commits and your Vercel user. Reconnecting GitHub usually fixes this!

Thanks for your response. I reconnected GItHub and it didn't help.

What's confusing to me is that it all worked.... then it stopped.

Can you share what you've done so far? Did you go through the steps I shared above?

Thank you. This is the solution! My issue has been resolved.

For everyone having the "build blocked" issue, follow these steps:

In your CLI terminal run these commands to see what your current settings are:

git config --global user.email
git config --global user.name

If the output isn't matching your GitHub settings (check your account), change it by running these (!!!!Replace the email/name with your GitHub email and name!!!!) :

git config --global user.email "your@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

NOTE: You didn't do anything to cause this issue. Most likely Vercel made an update to enforce GitHub verification. This explains why all of sudden so many people are having the same issue.
