Data Cache is moving to Runtime Cache
Data Cache is being phased out and replaced by Runtime Cache in Next.js, with automatic migration for all versions. Pro teams receive 8x more storage per project, while Enterprise projects get 10x their previous allocation. Post-migration, previously unbilled reads and writes will be charged at $0.40 per million read units and $4.00 per million write units, varying by region. Hobby teams receive 1 million free read and 200,000 free write units monthly. Pro teams use a $20 infrastructure credit before billing applies. Teams created on or after October 30, 2026, will default to Runtime Cache. Migration dates: November 29, 2026 for Hobby; Pro and Enterprise teams will be notified separately. Early opt-in is available starting October 30, 2026, with immediate pricing application. Teams can disable caching in CDN settings without affecting migration. Optimization guidance is available via Observability and the Vercel Agent.
