Evidence
Amazon announced on September 22, 2023 that Prime Video shows and movies would include limited ads in the US from early 2024, with a new ad-free option for an extra $2.99 a month, and no change to the Prime price in 2024; live events such as sports keep ads either way. Amazon's help page (captured December 27, 2023) set the start as January 29, and a capture from the night of January 29, 2024 says Prime Video movies and TV shows include limited advertisements.
