I use my twitch prime sub for a certain channel whose VODs are for subs only. When I went to watch a VOD it said "This video is only available to subscribers. Sub now to watch and support". So I go to resub with prime. It says " Prime Subscription will be available on April 11"...(today is 4/11)
Any fixes?

The option to use your Prime Sub got a lot harder recently. It took me a lot of searching to find it. Adding this quick guide with images to help out since the option is buried.
Note: this is accurate as of April 2024, as far as I know the free Prime Sub can only be used from a desktop web browser (the options aren't available on the mobile app or mobile version of the webpage).
From the stream of the person you'd like to sub to, find the "Elevate Your Subscription" button. It's usually right above the purple Subscribe button.
Once inside that area scroll near the top and look for the "Use Prime Sub" checkbox, select it to check the box.
The purple subscription button should now change to say "Subscribe with Prime" and above the button should read "Free 1 month sub".
You have to manually subscribe every month
My Prime sub is never available. It keeps telling me that it'll be available on some date in the future, but every time the date passes, it's updated to a new date. Right now, it's telling me, "Prime Subscription will be available on March 14." But I'm sure it'll pick a new date once it actually gets there. I haven't been able to use my Prime sub in several months because of this.
I've already checked that I don't currently have an active sub. My subscriptions page just says, "Free Channel Sub with Prime: Directly support your favorite streamer, and you can subscribe again for free every month. To use your free subscription, go to a channel of your choice and select 'Subscribe Free.'"
My Amazon Prime account is a normal account that I pay full price for. I've had it for many years now.
If anyone has an idea of what's causing this, I'm all ears.
