Overlay isn't updating for different streams.
I stream one category, Astroneer for example, and stream for 11 hours. I then do another stream next day and it now says like 94hrs on my timer and is still on the astroneer category regardless of my changing category. This is really annoying, can someone please help?

It only updates when I go back into the overlay builder and back out again
We have three types of timers, stream uptime, viewer uptime and chat-controlled timer. It sounds like you created a chat controlled timer when you really want a stream uptime timer.
i used the regular like setup
it says 'stream uptime'
@milk To calculate the stream uptime, we use the stream start time directly from the Twitch API. It’s possible that it was maybe something on Twitch’s end.
When next will you be live?
rn
What's your Twitch username?

@milk Twitch says you're offline
yeah im loading my game
give me a sec
live now
Can you sign out of Overlay Expert and sign back in with Twitch?
i have multiple times
i can do it rn tho
@milk OK let me know when you've signed back in
done
Now the stream uptime in your overlay looks OK
but that's only a temporary fix
We may have just lost access to your Twitch account information for some reason
oh
ok
If you watch your stream from desktop/PC, you will see a message asking to reauthenticate when this happens
oh
i dont have that so
Hmm
When you're in the builder, it should ask you to reauthenticate too. Did you ever get that?
nope
it just says about the new builder thing
The walkthrough?
Not sure how to get the reauthentication message to you if you're not watching from desktop/PC and I don't like posting to chat
yeah idk
ill probably just figure out it isnt updating
ty for the help
We usually don't lose access often, but sometimes Twitch things happen
i just changed stream categories and reset the stream but it hasnt updated
did the login thing and it changed it
but this is very irritating to deal with
OK I’ll look into this tonight
thanks
@milk I just deployed a potential fix for this and stream-related dynamic items like stream title or viewer count should update every 2 minutes now. Can you let me know how your next stream goes?
sure, i will do. tysm!
btw hasnt fixed
im streaming rn
it had 51hrs on the timer and another category
i had to log back in
👀
@milk OK this should be working again 🙏
alright thanks
