Vercel Sandboxes Auto-Expire Based on Last Use
Vercel updated its Sandbox snapshots to expire based on last use rather than creation time. Active snapshots persist as long as workflows depend on them, resetting the expiration timer each time they are used. This change allows shorter retention windows without risking snapshot loss between sessions.
Meridian48 take
A practical improvement for developers relying on persistent sandboxes, but the real test is whether it meaningfully reduces storage costs without breaking existing workflows.
