Some extra context / clarification from the thread re Vercel: they did warn him starting two weeks ago. They’ve stated he has a line open with customer support to get his other projects restored but that hasn’t happened yet.

I think that Vercel wants to drop them as a customer entirely. Vercel could've suspended the services related to 12ft.io, but Vercel chose to nuke their account from orbit. I'm unsure why Vercel suspended their domains tho. That's just asking for trouble with ICANN.

Out of curiosity, how is it an issue with ICANN? I know they can complain to them, but what category will this fall under?

Depends on whether Vercel refuses to give them the domain transfer code.
