# Hobby projects now retain fewer deployments to free up storage

By Steven Van · 2026-09-16

Hobby projects now keep only their 3 most recent production and 3 most recent overall deployments to stay under the 10GB storage limit.

Hobby teams on [Vercel](<https://creatorstoolbox.com/tools/vercel>) now lose old deployments sooner. Each Hobby project keeps only its 3 most recent production deployments plus its 3 most recent deployments of any type, regardless of age; preview deployments no longer get separate protection. The current production deployment, aliased deployments, and active-branch deployments are still never deleted.

The change is meant to free up space within the **10GB** Deployment Storage limit that Hobby teams get, since exceeding it can block further deploys. If a team is already over the limit, deployments outside the protected exceptions are now deleted immediately rather than after the usual 30-day retention window. Teams that need to keep more history can optimise their storage usage or upgrade to **Pro**, where storage is billed at $0.10 per GB per month.
