Data Freshness
Real-Time Data
Tips and chat messages are collected in real-time via WebSocket connections. Data appears in the database within seconds of the event occurring.
| Data Type | Typical Delay |
|---|---|
| Tips | < 30 seconds |
| Chat messages | < 30 seconds |
| Session events | < 1 minute |
| Room status | < 1 minute |
Aggregated Data
Some views use pre-computed aggregations for performance:
- Income rankings — Updated continuously as tips come in
- Daily ranks — Computed at the end of each day
- Search index — Updated periodically (incremental updates)
Free Site (statbate.com)
The free site caches data with 30-60 minute TTL. Top models, donators, charts, and heatmaps refresh within this window.
Plus Site
plus.statbate.com queries the database directly for most views, showing data as fresh as the collection pipeline allows (seconds to minutes old).
Gaps
If a collector goes down temporarily, tips during that period are lost — they cannot be recovered retroactively.
