The short answer
Supabase pauses Free plan projects after a week without enough database activity, so the app stops working even though you changed nothing. Open the project in your dashboard and press Resume project. It comes back with its data and settings, and you can restore a paused project for up to a year. Paid projects aren't paused for inactivity.
What to do
- Open the project in your Supabase dashboard.
- Press Resume project.
- Launching soon? Plan for it: one quiet week can pause it again.
