Public deployment is paused (503 DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED) – README stats broken #4737

Description

@mrnikhilsingh

Describe the bug

The public instance at:

https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app

is currently returning:

503 SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE  
Code: DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED  
"This Deployment is paused by the owner."

This breaks all existing README badges that rely on the default hosted endpoint.

Impact

  • All READMEs using the default endpoint are showing broken images.
  • This appears to be a manual pause, not a temporary outage.

Notes

I understand rate-limit and cost issues, but the current behavior silently breaks thousands of profiles.

Expected behavior

  • Resume the public deployment
