Vercel added billable duration and CPU‑minutes metrics to deployment views (dashboard, `vc inspect`, and REST API). Billable duration = build + post‑build time rounded up to the next minute; CPU minutes = billable duration × vCPU count. CLI v59.23.1+ shows a breakdown (e.g., 5m 9s build, 3m 21s post‑build → 9 min billable → 270 CPU‑minutes on a 30 vCPU machine).
Twilio will run two Heightened Awareness Periods (Nov 2‑4 2026 for U.S. midterms and Nov 19 2026‑Jan 4 2027 for BFCM/holiday) to shift high‑volume short‑code and toll‑free traffic to market‑throughput mode, keeping messages out of carrier queues.
