How is the submitted article related to the headline? There's no claim of a "24hr notice" there, just that new sponsorships aren't being accepted.

Seems they are trying to play it cool on the web, calling it a "pause" etc. It seems they're just scrapping it entirely and want to deliver the bad news via email to those affected.
One of their staff (the VP of Product) responded with a clarification: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40684147
The 24hr notice is mentioned by OP in their comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40682720
Then I think they should submit the email (e.g. in a pastebin or Google doc or something). Not misrepresent the contents of this page.
First, editorializing the submission titles is against HN policies. Second, it'd let us see the actual communication from Vercel rather than a paraphrase.
It's fair to ask for proof. I checked Twitter and there's another user who posted a screenshot of their email. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40683874

Agreed: this would have been better as a Tell HN: [same headline] with the text of the email. See my posting history for other examples.
