According to a post by tipster Ishan Agrawal on social media platform X, Amazon is reducing the number of devices that users can access Prime Video on. At present, that limit is 10. But the updated terms say that this limit will be reduced to 5 from 10. Also, the number of TVs on which Prime Video can be logged in will be reduced to two.
