Upcoming Amazon Outages in Europe and India

Amazon announcement

On Friday, May 29th and Friday, June 5th, for up to two hours starting at 02:00 UTC, Amazon will be conducting maintenance that will affect the Reports, Feeds, and Orders API sections for sellers in France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. We expect each outage to last only one hour, but please be prepared that they might last up to two hours. Following is detailed information about the impact of these outages.

Reports API section
For affected sellers during the scheduled outages, Amazon will suspend the generation of new order reports. While all Reports API section operations will behave normally, no new order reports will be generated for affected sellers during an outage.

Feeds API section
