Which of your products do you view as most likely to have led to the termination?

I don’t mean, which do you agree or consider just cause for leading to it. But as the operator of them, you are best positioned to estimate which one(s) a risk-avoidant corporation would be most likely reacting to, and knowing more about your actual circumstances would be valuable anecdata for others trying to help (as well as those reconsidering Vercel!).

I'm not entirely sure about the cause, but here are some possibilities:

1. I run a SaaS browser extension that lets users export table data from any website. It can bypass some download restrictions, and I’m not sure if this has ever caused complaints.

2. A few months ago, I launched a free expired-domain valuation tool. It identified some high-value domains abandoned by governments and international organizations, as well as domains linked to gambling and scams. I’m not sure if any of this may have breached regulations.

I've had a similar frustrating experience with Vercel. My old projects, which I haven't maintained in ages but still get user traffic, kept nagging me to upgrade Next.js versions. Eventually, they just shut them down without much warning. It seems like Vercel is pushing hard on updates and compliance—maybe related to the regulatory issues you mentioned? Migrating to something more flexible like Cloudflare or self-hosting helped me. Anyone else dealing with forced upgrades on legacy stuff?

It seems like we found the problem. Someone likely filed a DMCA request directly with Vercel and the company complied.

DMCA filings have a legal requirement for the provider to submit notification and receive an appeal, or else the provider may not qualify for the liability protection. That doesn’t rule out other such objections not under DMCA’d banner, but for DMCA specifically they have a legal obligation not to withhold why.

But wouldn't they tell them why then?

They still refuse to provide me with any valuable information to this day, even though I've reached out via email multiple times—and they’ve been polite throughout. Once I finish handling the website migration, I’ll launch a new site to fully document the entire incident and all communication records.
