Things to try

Check your subscription status

      (Only Adult profiles can manage subscriptions.)
  2. Here you'll find who your subscription is billed through (top of the screen).
  3. If your subscription is active and billed through Max directly, you’ll find your upcoming payment date. Otherwise, find who your subscription is billed through below:
    • Amazon Appstore: Sign in at amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions and find your Max subscription status.
    • Apple: Open the Settings app on your iOS device, choose your name, then Subscriptions, and find your Max subscription status.

If your Max subscription is active, try signing out of Max (the next solution).
