You can forfeit an Amazon Flex block without hurting your standing by cancelling at least 45 hours before the start time, or within five minutes of first accepting the block.
The cancellation windows
- More than 45 hours before your block starts: safe to cancel with no impact on your rating.
- Within five minutes of grabbing the block: safe to cancel regardless of how soon the block starts.
- Less than 45 hours before start time: late forfeiture, which will lower your standing.
If an emergency happens and you cannot make the block at short notice, contact support through the app as soon as possible. Support may excuse late forfeitures in genuine emergencies, but they check this manually and you should not rely on it often.
