Free plan: production deploys blocked by stale "credit usage exceeded" flag — credits show 300/300 unused

Hi Netlify team,

Every production deploy on our team is rejected with:

{“error”:“Account credit usage exceeded - new deploys are blocked until credits are added”}

However, the API contradicts this:

GET /api/v1/accounts/{account_id}
capabilities.credits = {“included”: 300, “used”: 0}
sites_with_usage_exceeded =
usages_exceeded =
current_usage_period_start = 2026-09-15
next_usage_period_start = 2026-10-15

So 300 of 300 monthly credits are still available, nothing is over quota, and the usage period just started. This matches the known stale “credit usage exceeded” flag that other Free-plan users have reported on this forum since July 2026.

Account details:

  • Account name: IN重庆
  • Account ID: 6aa92cb1f7cb886504b5aa4b
  • Account email / owner: hello@chungking.in
  • Plan: Free
  • Site: chungking-calendar-2027 (custom domain chungking.in, site id ffd11858-51eb-40bb-a9e5-6f0841926a73)

The site itself is still serving fine — only new production deploys are blocked.
Could you please clear the stuck flag on this team so we can deploy again? We would rather not upgrade; the credits are clearly available.

Thank you!
