How to get your videos back

Netflix says there's a problem with your account.

How do you fix it? You may have noticed that Netflix keeps saying that there's an issue with your account. If you see this message when trying to watch your favorite TV show, movie or streaming video, your viewing history is temporarily unavailable.

We'll fix the problem as soon as possible, but it can take up to 72 hours to recover from temporary errors like this, or when we're busy upgrading our system. During that time, you might not be able to access your Netflix account at all.

This happens because sometimes Netflix goes into maintenance mode for several hours or days. We need to fix problems that slow down our systems during this period.

We know that this can be frustrating, and we apologize for any inconvenience. How to avoid this problem. There are three main ways to avoid seeing this message: Make sure you don't have any problems, such as: You can't access your account (if you're not sure why this is happening, check your billing information. If it's correct, make sure your Netflix password is secure and doesn't include any numbers, punctuation, or special characters. Don't use passwords with the same names as family members or friends, and consider using Netflix's reset password feature).

Your account hasn't been accessed in a while (if it's been less than 30 days since your last login, you probably won't need to go through this process). If you're the only person using your account, the problem isn't your fault (and if it's the wrong information, it's probably someone else's fault). Netflix keeps saying there's a problem with my account. We keep seeing this message on Netflix.com or in the app. Your viewing history is temporarily unavailable.

Usually this means one of two things: Your billing information is incorrect. This should never happen, because we give you detailed instructions about how to change your information if it's incorrect.

You're using an Internet connection that isn't fast enough to stream high-quality video from Netflix. We recommend using a fast Wi-Fi network instead.
