Jun 19 , 17:54 UTC Resolved - Between Jun 19 18:09 and Jun 20 01:16 UTC, a subset of Vercel Functions using node-fetch@2 may have experienced intermittent invocation errors that surfaced as ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE.

βšͺ Vercel's dashboard, API, and CLI all developed selective amnesia simultaneously. The backlog recovery is in progress, moving at the speed of a very determined sloth. Should be back to normal-ish in a couple hours, assuming the backfill doesn't decide to ghost them again. (Auto-resolved: no updates in 24h)
