Vercel added a new pricing option called Flat Rate CDN to its Terms of Service. Under the new terms, users on paid plans can access tiered CDN capacity with automatic upgrades if usage exceeds the current tier, and they receive at least 7 days' notice before tier upgrades incur higher fees. Users can disable Flat Rate CDN at any time to revert to pay-as-you-go rates, and Vercel may reduce CDN performance or disable the service if usage violates fair use guidelines.
The updated terms establish a new Flat Rate CDN pricing tier available only on paid plans, with automatic upgrades to higher tiers when usage exceeds current capacity. Users receive at least 7 days' notice before tier upgrades take effect, allowing time to downgrade, disable the service, or cancel. You can disable Flat Rate CDN at any time to be charged at pay-as-you-go rates starting your next billing cycle.
→ Monitor your CDN usage against current tier capacity and review projected costs before tier upgrade deadlines.
→ Disable Flat Rate CDN before your next billing cycle if you prefer pay-as-you-go pricing instead of tier-based fees.
→ Downgrade your current tier before the next billing cycle if a higher tier would be charged.
Usage exceeding current tier capacity triggers automatic upgrade to matching tier at start of next billing cycle, with 7-day notice required.
Users may disable Flat Rate CDN at any time to revert to pay-as-you-go rates, effective next billing cycle.
Vercel may reduce CDN performance, disable Flat Rate CDN, or take other actions if usage violates fair use guidelines in Documentation.
