I received no warning, no suspension notice, and no post-action explanation. When I emailed their support to ask what happened, they refused to give a reason and simply said they wouldn’t restore the account or data.
I’ve been a Vercel user for over two years and never had any issue until now. It’s honestly shocking to lose everything overnight without a single email or warning.
I’m now migrating all my projects to Cloudflare, but the experience has been incredibly frustrating. I just want to understand why this happened — and whether anyone else has faced a similar sudden ban.
Has anyone here managed to get a clear answer from Vercel in a situation like this?

Edit: Strange I would get so many downvotes for this. Care to explain? I think the effective Next.js lock-in is well documented. Yeah you can technically run it on arbitrary platforms with substantial work and continued maintenance, but you're working against the tide.

The terminally online developer cares very much about signaling his love of artisanal webshit. He makes his chosen flavor of the month JavaScript framework, and by extension, the "platform" used to host it, part of his identity. Maybe his favorite mustachioed "influencer" shills it on YouTube with a coupon code for 50% off your first month, or maybe an idol with 700k Twitter followers says it's the framework (and not his fanboys) that makes him $200k monthly passive income from side projects. Branded laptop stickers are a guarantee, maybe even a hoodie. So when he encounters a rational, level-headed observation like yours, he takes it as a jab at his beloved Vercel Inc., benevolent maintainer of Next.js valued at $3.25bn with the best customer support in the industry, and hits "downvote". His job is done.
