After 14 days, all deployments on your account will become paused unless a payment is successfully made.
You can be overdue when:

Some senders deduct a payment fee for transaction costs. This could mean that the amount charged on the invoice, does not reflect the amount due. To fix this make sure you add the transaction fee to the amount you send.

Vercel automatically mitigates against L3, L4, and L7 DDoS attacks at the platform level for all plans. Vercel does not charge customers for traffic that gets blocked by the Firewall.
Usage will be incurred for requests that are successfully served prior to us automatically mitigating the event. Usage will also be incurred for requests that are not recognized as a DDoS event, which may include bot and crawler traffic.
For an additional layer of security, we recommend that you enable Attack Challenge Mode when you are under attack, which is available for free on all plans. While some malicious traffic is automatically challenged, enabling Attack Challenge Mode will challenge all traffic, including legitimate traffic to ensure that only real users can access your site.
You can monitor usage in the Vercel Dashboard under the Usage tab, although you will receive notifications when nearing your usage limits.
The billing cycle refers to the period of time between invoices. The start date depends on when you created the account, or the account's trial phase ended. You can view your current and previous billing cycles on the Usage tab of your dashboard.
The second tab indicates the range of the billing cycle. During this period, you would get billed for:
- The amount of Team seats you have, and any addons you have purchased - Billed for the next 30 days of usage
- The usage consumed during the last billing cycle - Billed for the last 30 days of additional usage
You can't change a billing cycle or the dates on which you get billed. You can view the current billing cycle by going to the Settings tab and selecting Billing.
As a Team Owner, you can start a trial of the Pro plan when you first create an account. For more information, see the Trials guide.
