Twitch don’t disclose how viewers are counted, all we know is that there is some protection against view bots, or viewers watching multiple embeds, not being counted as a viewer to prevent abuse. So depending on your site there’s the possibility of it running into tha, we simply don’t know the specifics of the system but it may be what is impacting viewer count when switching states.

About 2 years ago, it wasnt like this, it would keep the viewer number from a rerun to live state generally similar. I think when they introduced the streamer offline / disconnect feature it changed it to always resetting and not counting until refresh/reloads happen.
