An option to delay the first Hype Train of the stream
I often start a stream with a countdown, for technical reasons. The most faithful members of my community tend to jump right in and click the renewal button immediately. Their alerts then go live during the countdown… and so does the Hype train.
By the time I'm on screen, the Hype train is gone. It usually won't return because there's not enough loyal people left to help meet the requirements again. And I missed the opportunity to encourage people to get on board!
I don't believe increasing the threshold is a good idea: it will either trigger during countdown anyway, or not trigger at all. I also don't want to "teach" my community "how to properly" renew their subs.
I'd like an option, along with the Kickoff Threshold, Level Goals and Cooldown Periods segments, to set kind of a starting hold. Something so, even if the Hype train is earned on the third minute of live, will make it happen at the 10th or 15th minute.

Came here to suggest this same idea. I often get a hype train triggered in the first minute or two of stream due to regulars resubbing right as I go live. This feels like a waste of a hype train because my viewership needs about 15 minutes to ramp up after the start of stream. Having an option to delay the first hype train by about 15 minutes would allow for that initial viewership to ramp up and make the first hype train more successful.
