How long do streaming platforms give before they consider it a failure?

How long do streaming platforms give before they consider it a failure? The reason I ask is Wu Assassins is on Netflix and Carnival Row is on Amazon Prime.

I believe they already renewed Carnival Row. Amazon often renews shows in advance.

As for Netflix, it seems they decide on renewing a show depending how big out of the gate it is. Sometimes they're renewed by the end of the week, others by the end of the month. Often at the end of the month if it's not successful they announce its cancelled. It's extremely scattershot.

I read somewhere netflix decides within 6 weeks after release if they cancel the series or renew it. They say when someone doesn't sees it during that first 6 weeks they never do.

And yes carnival row was renewed in Advance

Stranger Things is the biggest success story in Netflix history, and yet two months later they still haven't officially renewed it.

It isn't a question of if, it is a question of when.

I know that, but why the pretense? Just let us know it's been renewed and when season 4 starts shooting.
