Vercel boosts Pro trace retention 14x to 14 days, Hobby to 3 days
What happened
Between the Nov 5, 2026 and Nov 6, 2026 captures of Vercel's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Observability trace retention raised: Hobby 1 hour to 3 days, Pro 1 day to 14 days, Enterprise 3 to 14 days; Session Tracing row renamed Trace Retention. Pulse files it as a packaging change (limit increase) with an upward direction. The current page lists Pro at $20.

Vercel has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
