Amazon US doesn’t do that, but they do show a “lowest price in 30 days” badge that is actually truthful (appears when the item is on sale and the sale price is the lowest in the last 30 days). Of course, there’s some sellers that game it by increasing their prices over 30 days before Prime Day.
I dont think it includes procong due to coupons though.
If a product had a minor coupon (e.g <5$) and the product was discounted to that price without coupon, it would still advertise lowest price despite it not really changing.
I don’t know if it’s a law here too in Canada, but Amazon.ca works the same. What sellers do to get around this just make a new listing for products at inflated rates so they can then discount them for “sales”, while simultaneously setting the regular listing to unavailable until the “sale” is over.
Using a browser addon that tracks price history, we found a bunch of “deals” on Amazon US that had raised the price 30 days ago and are now flagged “Lowest price in 30 days!”. The “deal” price was almost always the exact same price it was 31 days prior.
The browser add-on is called honey, and it seems to be available for other OS. Can Google it and see if they have anything that will work in your environment.
It’s the omnibus directive from 2019, maybe your country didn’t ratify it yet. For example my country is slow & lazy and ratified it only a few months ago
In Europe there’s a law that forces stores (online but also physical) to post also the lowest minimum price in the last month.
So it would be

I’m in Europe and have never seen this in my life, what I have seen is advice price which is another scam in itself.

Thank you!
In the U.S. that’s a big “fuck you buddy, Ima get mine,” from congress.
