Description
### Describe the bug
The public instance at:
https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app
is currently returning:
```
503 SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE
Code: DEPLOYMENT_PAUSED
"This Deployment is paused by the owner."
```
This breaks all existing README badges that rely on the default hosted endpoint.
### Impact
- All READMEs using the default endpoint are showing broken images.
- This appears to be a manual pause, not a temporary outage.
### Notes
I understand rate-limit and cost issues, but the current behavior silently breaks thousands of profiles.
### Expected behavior
- Resume the public deployment
