Usage and Pricing

This page outlines information on the limits that are applicable to using Vercel Data Cache, and the costs they can incur.

Usage

Note: Pricing for additional written data and data transferred will be opt-in for Pro teams. You will be able to opt-in beginning May 15th, 2023.
You will not be billed for additional written data, data transferred, and revalidations until Beta ends.
If you do not opt-in for additional written data and data transferred, Vercel Data Cache will be paused when you reach your limits. When this happens, your sites will remain online but data will need to be recomputed. Your sites may be less performant since they cannot take advantage of the cached data.

Vercel Data Cache usage is measured on the following items. Usage metrics can be found in the Data cache section of the Usage tab on your dashboard. The usage dashboard measures the following items for your account:

Storage

Storage has a fixed size limit based on your subscription. You cannot exceed your storage limit. When the storage limit is reached, existing items will be evicted based on which items were least recently used.

Written data

Written data is the amount of data written to the cache.

Data transferred

Data transferred is the amount of data retrieved from the cache.

Revalidations

Revalidations are the total number of tags or items requested to revalidate. This is not inclusive of charges incurred as a result of the revalidation, for example, written data to store the new item data.

Limits

  • Item size – The maximum size of an item in the cache is 2 MB. Items larger than this will not be cached.
  • Tags per item – A cache item can have a maximum of 64 tags.
  • Maximum tag length – The maximum tag length is 256 bytes.

Billing information

Hobby

Data Cache is free for Hobby users within the usage limits.

Vercel will send you emails as you are nearing your usage limits. You will not pay for any additional usage. However, Data Cache will be paused. When this happens, your sites will remain online but data will need to be recomputed. Your sites may be less performant since they cannot take advantage of the cached data.

In this scenario, you will have two options to move forward:

Pro and Enterprise

For Teams on a Pro trial, you will not be able to use Data Cache once your Team exceeds 1GB of bandwidth or 100 revalidations. For more information, see the trial limits
