Vercel deployments stuck in PENDING state across all projects

Problem

Deployments stuck in PENDING — all projects affected

Since approximately 21:48 on 14 April 2026, no deployments are triggering on my account. This affects all projects (nithdigital, businessdirectory).

Current Behavior

  • GitHub webhook delivers successfully (HTTP 200) to the deploy hook URL.
  • Deploy hook API returns:
{"job":{"state":"PENDING","id":"…"}}
  • No deployment ever appears in the dashboard or API.
  • The last successful deployment was at 21:48 on 14 April (commit 67385abe).
  • All subsequent pushes (10+) have been silently ignored.

What I’ve Tried

  1. Disconnecting and reconnecting the GitHub integration.
  2. Deleting and recreating deploy hooks.
  3. Manually calling the deploy hook URL directly.
  4. Redeploying from the dashboard (redeploys the old commit not the latest).
  5. Pushing from a new branch.

Environment

  • Plan: Hobby
  • Project ID: prj_VAkZjFTU3QaUw8h62H5ITzlBSRop
  • Status: No billing warnings or soft block visible in dashboard. No cron job limit issues as all crons are daily or less frequent.

The deploy hook receives requests and returns PENDING but jobs never progress to a build. This appears to be a backend queue or account-level issue that requires investigation on Vercel’s side.

Are you still seeing this? I just checked your accounts and the builds seem to be processing now. Did you do anything to unblock it?

Hi Jacob, all good now - There was a cron job blocking the build. I was only seeing the error when trying to push a manual deployment.

Apologies, would you be able to mark this as closed?
