Starting October 15, 2025, Vercel will update the default deployment retention policy for all projects currently using the legacy “unlimited” setting:

  • Canceled Deployments - 30 days, with a maximum of 1 year.

  • Errored Deployments - 3 months, with a maximum of 1 year.

  • Pre-Production Deployments - 6 months, with a maximum of 3 years.

  • Production Deployments - 1 year, with a maximum of 3 years.

Projects with a custom deployment retention setting will not be affected. Additionally, before October 15, the "unlimited" option will become unavailable when modifying retention policies.

Team owners can configure a default retention policy to be applied to any new projects created under the team on Teams > Security & Privacy > Deployment Retention Policy. This policy can also be easily applied to all existing projects.

Note that your 10 most recent production deployments and any currently aliased deployment will never be deleted, regardless of age.
