Thanks that’s very helpful.
It all makes good sense now. I guess I was overlooking the common sense part of twitch buffering messages for me. Sometimes the most basic of things just fly over my head 
While I’m here I did run into a weird ‘issue’ when I was logged in with my oauth though… Is there any way to disable people gifting subs and items to a bot? When I was testing my bot in a couple 1000 channels it randomly got gifted subs. I feel like others could use them not a bot… (this is why I’m using the anonymous justinfan account)
