Hello - For reasons unbeknownst to me, the usage of edge resources on a simple database app spiked in one day.

Goals

To realize what I did wrong with a particular deployment

To take corrective actions to lower Edge Requests usage

App Information

Framework: NestJS with Next.js frontend

Database: NeonDB connection

Backend URL: https://bizforecaster-api.vercel.app/

Frontend URL: https://bizforecaster.vercel.app/

Current Behavior

I have been testing the app for a few months but suddenly on 03/28, the Edge Requests and the number of Vercel Functions jumped to 1,000,000 hits. The app has no visitors and I am the only user/tester. Analytics is now turned on, yet I am still the only user and visitor of the app.

Questions

1. How do I investigate this sudden spike on resource usage that occurred on one particular day?

2. How do I prevent getting suspended, considering that I am over the limit without knowing why?

Thank you.
