Key point

The new --delete-project-after flag supports durations of 1h, 1d, 1w, 2w, and 30d for new projects only.

Details

  • Vercel CLI v65.12.0 introduces the --delete-project-after flag to automatically delete projects after a set duration.
  • Supported expiration durations are 1h, 1d, 1w, 2w, and 30d.
  • The flag only applies when vercel deploy creates a new project; deploying to an existing project with the flag triggers a warning and leaves expiration unchanged.
  • Use vercel project keep to remove a project's expiration setting.
