During the action locking period, Amazon Music is able to reverse actions and, therefore, change your payout for an action. Once the action locking date arrives (this can be found in the Under Contract report), no more changes can be made to that action and it will then lock. According to Amazon Music’s Master Agreement, the reversal of performance advertising actions is decided by Amazon Music and is governed by a maximum reversal percentage of 100%.
