American Express randomly stops downloading transactions

This is the third time this has happened, not sure why Quicken fails to download.

I have one Amex Login that has multiple credit, charge, and Business credit/charge cards on the account. Things were working mostly smoothly until I added a new Amex Gold Business card. I clicked the plus sign and added the account, it had me login to Amex website, and I checked all the boxes to authorize. Returned to quicken, everything downloaded fine.

This was on or around January 15, 2025

On or around 1/30/25 I noticed it hadn't found any transactions for this account only for almost 2 weeks. All my other Amex cards downloaded transactions just fine. NO errors in OSU at all. A manual "update now" showed no errors either, just nothing downloaded.

Had to do the usual deactivate/reactive and then it found the missing 12 or so transactions (along with changing my opening balance, thank you very much).

Then again on or around 2/12/25 I noticed no new transactions even though I use the card almost daily. Had to do the same thing. Deactivate/reactivate. Missing transactions downloaded.

Today, noticed that it hasn't downloaded anything since 2/25/25. The most annoying thing is the no errors part.

Any suggestions other than the usual (validate, super validate, blah blah which never fixes/does anything anyway).

    Hello,

    I should know in another week or so (I have to make a note to keep checking daily and see if it happens again. We're nearing the 2 week window were it usually shows up).

    I have been having issues with my accounts on and off for a couple of months also. I have tried resetting the accounts, deactivating and reactivating. This worked for a while then would have to go throught these steps again. Now nothing seems to work even though when I reactivate the accounts it shows that the accounts are linked.

    The last transactions to download were from mid-February.

    When is this going to be fixed?

    Running Quicken R61.21 release.

    Yes, just had it happen again. Very annoying/frustrating. So far only seems to be with Amex cards, and only the NEW card I've recently added. I have no idea why it works for a period of time and then stops working.
