So 2 days ago, I was working on a project with Next.js where I used GitHub OAuth for login purposes.
This project was hosted in Vercel.
Now, the OAuth was only working on the Vercel url that the project was hosted on, so every time I would change a few lines to the code, I'd redeploy it so I could test it out.
After about an hour of trying to fix this one bug, I got a notification that I had used too much data and my account had been blocked.
My Vercel account was very important to me as it hosted my portfolio and a few other major projects, so I start panicking.
Frantically, I opened a case on the Vercel support page and opened a discussion in the Vercel GitHub Community hoping I would get some support.
Then, I went to bed...
The Next Day
The next day, I woke up and saw that someone had commented on my GitHub discussion telling me to check what the email from Vercel had said and to follow the instructions on the email.
I decided to re-do that after I come home from school.
Once school had ended, I re-checked my emails.
There it was: an email from Vercel Community Support
The Support Engineer responded with this comment:
We need to know that you have either deleted or moved the project or resolved the issue that caused you to go over the usage limit in your account before we can look to remove the block.
I immediately deleted the Vercel project and replied saying that the project using all the data had been deleted.
2 hours later, I got an email saying that my account had been unblocked!
Moral of the Story: Vercel Community Support is amazing and so is Vercel and Next.js

You can use cloudflared or ngrok for testing.
