Sign out and sign back in
Logging out of your Amazon account and signing back in can resolve session token issues that cause Prime benefits to appear unavailable.

Clear the app cache or try a browser
On mobile devices, clear the Amazon or Prime Video app cache. On desktop, try a different browser or incognito mode to rule out client-side issues.
- 3
Check your internet connection and speed
Prime Video requires at least 3 Mbps for SD and 25 Mbps for 4K. Test your connection speed before assuming an Amazon-side outage.

Verify your Prime membership is active
Check Your Account > Prime Membership to confirm your subscription is active and your payment method hasn't expired.

Frequently asked questions about Amazon Prime status
Is Amazon Prime down right now?
Check the AWS Service Health Dashboard and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both confirm issues, Amazon Prime services are likely down for many users.

Prime Video failures can result from server outages, your internet speed, device compatibility issues, or an expired Prime subscription. Check your connection speed and membership status before assuming a service outage.
