Creator Connections payouts down almost 90 percent this week on identical traffic. It's not just you
Seeing a few people mention this so adding my experience. My Creator Connections earnings have dropped every single day for about a week and are now a small fraction of a normal day. Traffic and outbound Amazon clicks stayed completely steady the whole time, and my regular Associates commissions are fine. Only the CC stream collapsed.
It's not one product or one brand. Everything compressed at once. Products are paying roughly a tenth per click of what they paid two weeks ago on the same click volume. I rotated in a brand new product from a campaign with a healthy budget label and it instantly earned at the same compressed rate as everything else, so it's not stale campaigns either.
Two more things I noticed. The product level report got gutted in late July, it now only shows products above roughly 10 clicks, so most of the detail is just gone. And the campaign labels (expected EPC and budget level) haven't changed at all through the whole collapse, so they don't reflect what's actually being paid out.
Others are reporting the same window, roughly the last 3 to 7 days, some seeing clicks halve, some like me seeing the per click payout collapse. If it's hitting accounts with totally different products at the same time, that's an Amazon side change, not our sites. Curious what everyone else's last week looked like.
