Public deployment is paused (503 DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED) – README stats broken

### Describe the bug The public instance at: https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app is currently returning: ``` 503 SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE Code: DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED "This Deployment is paused by the owner." ``` This breaks all existing README badges that rely on the default hosted endpoint. ### Impact - All READMEs using the default endpoint are showing broken images. - This appears to be a manual pause, not a temporary outage. ### Notes I understand rate-limit and cost issues, but the current behavior silently breaks thousands of profiles. ### Expected behavior - Resume the public deployment ### Screenshots / Live demo link ``` 503 SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE Code: DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED ``` <img width="1353" height="647" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d885f6ee-3206-4a32-a977-f2237eb98126" /> ### Additional context _No response_
