I think there's a bigger issue going on here. I too have received the same email for my open source project (1) which also was on Vercel's sponsorship deal.

A little Googling shows others piping up in the last couple of hours who received a similar message (2). What seems odd is that they make it sound like the deal 'expired'. But I find it more than a bit curious that all the reports I find about this are from the last couple of hours, all expiring at the exact same date (14 June).

Given that Vercel no longer offers sponsorship (3), this feels like they decided to revoke the deal, and offer a 6-month credit to ease the transition.

Obviously, I am appreciative of the free service I've received, but the messaging about these changes could be a lot more honest IMHO.
