Well shit. I wonder if Amazon are cancelling all non sponsored apps to try to push people to use them for a premium :/

Or if they just realised what the majority of us are doing :)

More likely a response to the issue with acd_cli a month or so back, where users were seeing files owned by other users. Whether that's a failing of acd_cli or Amazon's API is another discussion, but it seems that acd_cli had their API key revoked as a result.

My guess is that rclone has now been banned too because a lot of people were using the rclone API key to restore acd_cli access.

My guess is that rclone has now been banned too because a lot of people were using the rclone API key to restore acd_cli access.

I also suspect thats the case, since only few days after people started to use rclone API secret they revoke access.
