Changelog - Version 5.7.17 (2026-08-14)

Version Information

• Updated version from 5.7.16 to 5.7.17
• Fix: AutoMod-held spam is now denied as well as banned

Bug Fixes

• Spam pattern AutoMod deny never reached Twitch
  • When a spam/bot message was held by AutoMod, the bot banned the account but left the hold in the AutoMod queue.
  • Fix: AutoMod-held spam is now denied as well as banned. Deny uses the same bot moderator credentials as bans, with the moderator id Twitch requires. Wired on automod.message.hold and channel.chat.user_message_hold after a spam-pattern match.

Technical Details

• Helix: POST https://api.twitch.tv/helix/moderation/automod/message — scope moderator:manage:automod, success 204.
