Based on your feedback, rather than pausing a deployment when exceeding the included Image Optimization usage, Vercel will now only pause optimization for additional source images.
- Your existing images and all traffic will not be affected
- Additional source images will throw a 402 status code when optimizing, triggering the
onError
callback (if provided) and showing thealt
text instead of the image
