Snapshots not working
troubleshooting
snapshot
All my cameras worked correctly during the free trial. When the trial expired, Snapshot Capture stopped working across all my cameras. I subsequently purchased the annual Ring Protect Pro plan, expecting the paid features to resume, but the problem remains.
My cameras are configured for Snapshot Capture every 15 minutes, yet their timelines show only motion-triggered recordings, with gaps of many hours and no snapshots. One camera is now also displaying “Footage Unavailable.”
I have already spent approximately 45 minutes on the phone with support and received no meaningful resolution. I have also tried all the rebooting, toggling off and on, delete and reinstalling tricks. Nothings worked. Ring customer agent was unhelpful. AI bot was unhelpful.
The timing of this failure is significant: the cameras worked during the trial and stopped when the trial expired. Purchasing the annual plan did not restore the functionality.

Snapshots aren't working for us on the Battery Doorbell 2k Plus. Snapshots work perfectly on the Indoor Cam 2k and Spotlight Cam Plus. Ring says it's on their side but isn't actively fixing it, since it's been broken for over a week for us.

Hi @user_b15415. What specific device is this for? How is your device powered? You can find some information on Snapshot Capture here. Do you have a VPN active on your network? Do you have any other devices experiencing this issue? Try toggling the interval for your Snapshot and monitoring it for a few days to see if it updates to the new interval, then try toggling it back. Sorry for all the questions! I'm just trying to dive into this for you and get it solved. Thank you.
