EventSub - Channel Subscription Message vs Channel Subscribe

[BarryCarlyon]

What happens with these events when user subscribes for duration of 6 months? Will the channel:subscribe event get fired only once and will be the user able to trigger the message each month? And every time with updated cumulative/streak? Or how this behaves?

If a user purchases a 6 month subscriptions
The user can share it 5 times each other

so

1 channel:subscribe
up to 5 channel:subscription:messages

Since sharing is optional

Month 2 will tell it’s a 2 month streak, month 3 a 3 month etc

Basically I’m missing some subscriptionId to tie these information together, so I know which message is related to which subscription - i.e. when it ends and the user subscribes again in a few months, I want to differentiate and still track the cumulative/streak/duration metrics.

There is no such ID (to track an individual subscription).

A user is a sub or not a sub.
A user isn’t “on sub xxx” or “on sub yyyy” they are just are or are not a sub

You would have to make your own determination in your own tracking, probably using the user’s userID to track if they are had a gap in their sub in your own data collecting. (make sure the streamer knows what you are doing with their data)
