Amazon OA – Does the 6 month cooldown period apply? /u/_mk_77 CSCQ protests reddit

I recently applied to a few Amazon SDE roles and received an email to take the Online Assessment within 1-2 days after applying. I have a week to take it.

I honestly didn’t expect to hear back so soon, and I had hoped to grind through the holidays to prepare.

I am now in a dilemma, because I am worried if the 6 month cooldown period applies if we do not pass the OA.

Can anyone who’s at Amazon currently confirm if the cooldown period applies for OAs or does it only apply once we reach the Interview stage.

Also a separate question, I applied to 3 roles and received 3 different OA links in separate emails. I assume that once I take one of them, the other two would be voided?
