Fix the Ads for Bits
I love the idea for supporting streamers with bits but frankly I don't have the money to spend on bits, so that's why I rely on the free bits from ads, but one time after watching an ad it says "Try again later" under the Watch Ad button. At first I thought "Ok. I'll just watch more tomorrow" but it still said "Try again later" and it has been like that for months so I gave up checking at this point. If you could fix this or at least ease on the time you need to wait between ads. Maybe like one or two ads a week and these ads can stack, (for example if I don't watch my two ads for one week I can watch 4 ads next week and if I don't watch those 4 ads, next week I can watch 6 ads, and so on.)
Of course the "two ads per week" is just yet another suggestion, you can tailor it to however you feel fit. I just at least want a way of knowing "Hey! I watched all my ads. I can wait until _______ to watch another one." instead of relying on what feels like random luck to watch another ad.
Hey everyone -
Today we’ve made the decision that we will no longer be offering Ads for Bits. Instead, we will be turning our attention to our newest ad formats like Multiplayer Ads, which allow you to vote in polls and reward Bits to your favorite creators.
The goal for Ads for Bits was to help make cheering available for everyone and we will continue to push forward with that goal, just in different ways.
We appreciate your feedback and interest in Ads for Bits since its initial launch, and hope you will continue to offer suggestions around future ads products.

I haven't been able to watch ads for over 6 months. I can watch them on mobile, but no longer on PC/Mac. It used to work, but stopped and even if I try immediately after midnight, there are no ads to watch.

Twitch uses "TrueX," which is an engagement advertising platform. How it works is Twitch gives them an ID unique to your account, and they return back a list of "bids." If you are using it often, your ID will run out of bids and you will have to wait for new ads to be placed, or for ones you have already watched to refresh. There is no set time for how often you can watch ads, it merely depends on if there are bids available. (if the advertisers want to give Twitch more money for your engagements)

Probably had nothing to do with the ipad. They did the same thing to me. Slowed down how often i could watch ads for bits, then it was on mobile only for the 2 per ad. Now i cant watch any. TWITCH SUCKS
