On February 19, Twitch stated that Highlights and Uploads on the platform will be subject to a 100-hour storage limit that will go into effect on April 19. Twitch then clarified that Past Broadcasts and Clips will not be affected by the new 100-hour storage limit but encouraged content creators to download or export any past Highlights or Uploads before the April 19 deadline or risk losing them.
The change to Twitch's video-on-demand (VOD) storage limits is not the only thing that the Amazon-owned service will revisit. Twitch also unveiled changes to how its ban system works to make bans both more transparent and more punishing towards repeat offenders. Additionally, some violations that can lead to lengthy bans will be forgiven and wiped from a user's record if they do not commit similar or worse offenses during the probationary period. Minor violations can be forgiven after 90 days, and some more egregious behaviors can take up to two years to be wiped clean. Repeat offenders would face more severe punishments.
