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.

After years of error-free experience, my AMEX transactions failed to download today - three card accounts which I regularly download on on the 1st of each month. Resolved issue by deactivating all three, restarted Quicken and reactivating first account, which prompted AMEX to re-authorize all three (all attached to one AMEX ID). Back in Quicken, linked to corresponding accounts and it automatically downloaded all my transactions (except curiously one purchase I made yesterday, though I expect it'll show up). Hopefully this does not become a recurring problem when I download next month.
In case this info is helpful in anyone's troubleshooting, @mjonis mentioned recently adding a new card, which I had done as well. One of the three is new as of September 2024, and I upgraded a Gold "Traditional" card to a "regular" Gold in mid-January.
