# Elastic build machines now use Turborepo cache hits to prevent downgrades

**[Vercel](https://daily.dev/sources/vercel)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Vercel's elastic build machines now factor in Turborepo cache hits when deciding whether to downgrade a build to a smaller machine tier. Previously, a warm-cache build's lower CPU and memory usage could trigger a downgrade, which risked leaving a later cold-cache build underprovisioned and unable to complete. The change applies automatically to all builds on elastic build machines with no action required from users.

## Questions this post answers

### Why did my Vercel build get downgraded to a smaller machine and then fail with insufficient resources?

Previously, elastic build machines on Vercel could downgrade to a smaller tier based on the lower CPU and memory usage of a warm Turborepo cache hit, but a later cold-cache build then lacked enough resources to complete. Vercel now factors in Turborepo cache hits when deciding tier downgrades, so a warm-cache build no longer triggers a downgrade, preventing this underprovisioning issue automatically with no configuration needed.
