05 / Incidents and corrections
Limits remain in the record.
Transmission continuity
The public stream suffered connection interruptions and feed jumps. Relay logs recorded failures to resolve or connect to YouTube, followed by reconnection. A delayed outgoing HLS timeline was also observed; exact outage lengths and missing platform footage have not been established. OBS continued writing the independent SSD master during the checks. Minecraft was separately observed paused from approximately 2026-11-01 02:53:19 UTC until it was resumed around 03:33 UTC; the master therefore includes a paused-game interval. Public-stream continuity must not be presented as uninterrupted gameplay.
