Recently I got an email through from Amazon due to a switched payment method that due to a billing issue I couldn’t upload any new data.
Due to a problem with your credit card, we have been unable to charge your account for your Your Amazon Drive Unlimited Everything subscription.
If your Drive account is over your storage limit you will be prevented from uploading additional files until you delete enough files to be under your quota or you correct your billing information so that we can complete your purchase of your subscription.
To fix this problem, please update your payment information by following these steps:
- Go to Manage Your Cloud Subscriptions (https://www.amazon.com/gp/photos/storage)
- Sign in with your e-mail address and password.
- Click the Change button next to “Preferred renewal payment method”.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to update your credit card or choose a different one.
A charge can be declined for a variety of reasons. For more information on why the charge was declined, please contact the bank that issued your card.
For more details and instructions on how to manage your Amazon Drive account, please see our Online Help page. If you need further assistance, please contact Customer Service.
Thank you for using Amazon Drive.

However they didn’t say how long they would keep the data in this read only state …. indefinitely? A cheaper free Glacier 😉
An email from Customer services says there is a 90 Day window to pay or the account will be deleted
As you haven’t renewed your Unlimited Everything plan, your Amazon Drive account will be considered “over quota,” which means that you can still access your photos, videos, and files to view, download, and delete for 90 days but cannot upload any new items.
After 90 days, your Amazon Drive account will be closed and your content will be permanently deleted.
