Vercel ends open-source sponsorship program giving projects 24hr notice

I found somebody on twitter posting their email

"Hey there,

Your team cecil is currently enrolled in the Vercel sponsorship program.

Your 100% off discount is expiring on June 14.

To give you time to handle this transition, we will automatically enroll your team into a $300/mo discount for the next 6 months, starting on June 14 and ending on December 14.

Thank you for partnering together with us.

Please reach out to sponsorships@vercel.com if you have any questions."

Thank you for this context.

Giving a bunch of projects $300 a month in credits for six months is still far more than nearly any company does.

I wonder if they had projects legitimately consuming more than $300 a month of their services.
