Who else is having issues with Amazon API?

I think Amazon is trying to thin out unprofitable Affiliate websites from their program.

Yesterday, I noticed that images on my website fetched through EasyAzon are not displaying. When I checked out my amazon affiliate account, I saw the message below:

I've been seeing something like that on top of my affiliate dashboard but I didn't take note. It means if you don't have earnings within the last 30 days, the API will be discontinued on your website. That means all the plugins (EasyAzon & co) using Amazon API to get data will be useless on your site.

How do we bypass this? Or, what's the best way to cope?

It may not be directly related but I think it's part of their grand plan to sanitize their affiliate program without any negative effect on their profit
