Error: download: 403 Forbidden for https://now-files.s3.amazonaws.com/xyz?

My nextjs site has been running fine for weeks, I made some minor changes, pushed to github, but now I’m getting an “Error: download: 403 Forbidden for https://now-files.s3.amazonaws.com/[redacted]”.
I included a large file by mistake, but since deleted it from git.

When I go to project > create deployment, choose the correct branch I get “A commit author is required”. (I have my github connected to vercel.)

Any ideas what might cause this? Couldn’t find anything similar, would be grateful for help!

Do you also get “A commit author is required error if you send a blank commit (instead of creating manual deployment) ?

yes. I did :

git add .
git commit -m "Triggering deployment"
git push origin branch-name

Went to create a new deployment and got a “A commit author is required”.

Hi,

Can you make sure this settings are intact: Why aren't commits triggering deployments on Vercel? ?

thanks, that solved it. had to set my vercel username and email in git.
