I'm traveling and titles I normally watch at home have disappeared from my list?

Give another AI the facts it needs—not just “what should I do?”
I need practical help with a Netflix issue. The policy question: I'm traveling and titles I normally watch at home have disappeared from my list? Useful context I found: Your account isn't broken — Netflix detects your current country by IP in real time and automatically hides any title it doesn't hold streaming rights for in that specific country. My specific situation: [Describe what happened, including dates and messages shown] The outcome I want: [Refund, verification, appeal, account recovery, explanation, etc.] Important constraints: [Country, deadline, booking/account status, documents already submitted, budget, or other limits] Please: 1. Identify any missing facts you need before reaching a conclusion. 2. Separate platform policy, local law, and your own inference. 3. Give me the safest next steps in priority order. 4. Use current official sources where possible and flag anything that may have changed. 5. Draft a concise message I can paste to customer support. 6. Do not invent account access, guarantees, refund rights, or legal conclusions.
Why this policy exists
The right to stream any given title is licensed separately, country by country. Netflix checks the country associated with your current connecting IP address in real time, and titles it doesn't hold rights for in that specific country are simply not shown in your list at all — not an account restriction, just the normal, expected behavior of country-by-country content licensing. The title will reappear once you're back on a home-country connection.
