Hey everyone!

I’m an indie developer using Vercel for my projects.

Problem

Recently I hit an interesting bug in my code that accidentally routed telemetry through Edge Functions, which quickly exhausted my Hobby tier limits.

The issue wasn’t the limit itself (totally fair!), but that I had no warning about the unusual spike in usage until after the limit was hit.

By then it was too late to catch and fix the bug earlier.

Suggestion

It would be really helpful to have some form of usage spike detection or threshold alerts available on the Hobby plan:

• Simple email when usage jumps significantly above normal patterns.
• Lightweight version of Spend Management (currently on Pro) to help catch runaway bugs.

I know Spend Management exists on Pro, but a lightweight version for Hobby users could help catch runaway bugs before they become a problem (and probably reduce support tickets too).

Anyone else run into something similar?
