How often are bids adjusted, and will non‑performing keywords be auto‑paused
-
Bid updates run on a regular schedule, typically daily, unless disrupted by manual changes.

If you manually adjust a bid, auto‑bidding will pause for 3 days. However, any bid changes made directly through Amazon Ads will not pause the auto-bid system.
