However, Netflix downloading feature also has some limitations. If you often use the Netflix app to download movies and TV shows, you may encounter the download limit and get an error message in the Netflix app. What is Netflix download limit and how to fix Netflix download error?

You have downloads on too many devices

This is because, depending on your subscribed plan, you can only download titles on a specific number of devices. If you see this error, it means you've downloaded TV shows and movies on as many devices as your plan allows. To download on another device, you can:

• Delete downloaded titles from an existing device, or

• Upgrade your Netflix plan .

Netflix title downloads quantity

The Premium plan allows you to download movies and TV shows on up to 4 devices.

By default, Netflix users can download up to 100 movies and series per device. When you try to download new content, a Netflix pop-up window tells you that you have already exceeded the Netflix download limit. It does not mean that you can no longer download new content to your device; you simply need to remove the downloaded content (title) from your list of 100 titles. Once the storage space is freed up, you can download new titles from Netflix. With Netflix, there is no permanent download limit, just delete the old content to get the new one. So Netflix downloads are 100 titles at a time.

My downloaded title says 'Expired.'

Downloads will expire after a period of time.The amount of time depends on individual licenses, and can vary by title. Some titles will expire 48 hours after you first press play. Some have a limit on how many times they can be downloaded per year. Netflix does not disclose the download limit set for each title, and users are only notified of the download limit when there is only one last download left. Titles that are no longer available on Netflix will expire when they leave the service, regardless of when they were downloaded.

Can't download a TV show or movie

Not all TV shows and movies are available for download, so you may see the Download icon for some titles but not others.
