Subathon timer
A Subathon Timer counts down, and subs, gift subs, tips, bits, raids and channel point rewards add time. Add it from Add rift > Engagement.
Running it
Start, pause, resume, add time, set the multiplier and end the subathon from the activity dock or your Stream Deck. The timer keeps running when OBS reloads.
End mode
| Mode | How it works |
|---|---|
| Duration + extensions | Starts at a set time (default 2 hours) and events add to it. Set a maximum in hours so the timer never goes above it (0 is no maximum) |
| Fixed end date | Counts down to a date and time you pick. Events are counted but don't move the end |
What adds time
| Event | Default |
|---|---|
| Tier 1 sub | 5 minutes |
| Tier 2 sub | 10 minutes |
| Tier 3 sub | 20 minutes |
| Resub | 2 minutes (turn Count resubs off to skip resubs) |
| Gift subs | The sub time of that tier, for every gifted sub |
| Raid | 10 seconds per raider |
| Tip | Minutes per 1 unit of your currency |
| Bits | Minutes per 100 bits |
| Channel point rewards | Minutes you set per reward |
Tips and bits
Tips and bits count in proportion, so smaller amounts add part of the time. With €1 = 2 minutes and 100 bits = 1 minute:
| Given | Adds |
|---|---|
| €10 | 20 minutes |
| €0.50 | 1 minute |
| 100 bits | 1 minute |
| 50 bits | 30 seconds |
Every tip counts: Ko-fi tips, external donations, YouTube Super Chats and Twitch charity donations.
Channel point rewards
Add as many rewards as you like, each with its own minutes. Only those rewards add time. Renaming a reward on Twitch doesn't break it. You need to be a Twitch Affiliate or Partner.
Multiplier
Set a multiplier from the dock or Stream Deck, like x2 for a happy hour. Every extension is multiplied, channel point rewards too. Above x1 the overlay shows a pulsing MULTIPLIER badge.
Time is only added while the subathon runs, or while it is paused with time left. Time added during a pause waits until you resume.
How it looks
- Added time counts up smoothly instead of jumping. 10 minutes takes about 3 seconds, 10 hours about 6 seconds, and nothing takes longer than 7 seconds. Several adds in a row join into one climb.
- A green +time pops up above the timer showing what was added.
- When the time runs out it shows SUBATHON ENDED.
Colours
| When | Default |
|---|---|
| Normal | Your default colour (set it as the Text color) |
| Time is being added | Green |
| Paused | Orange |
| Under 30 minutes | Yellow |
| Under 10 minutes | Red, pulsing |
Pick your own colour for each. The low time colours can be switched off. Add a label (default SUBATHON) with its own colour, and choose the font, size and weight.
Reliable counting
Each event adds its time once, even when a platform sends it twice, and busy moments like channel point spam or a gift bomb don't lose time.
