What Last Online Means

Last online is the most recent time Statbate saw activity from that room in the collector data.

What the Timestamp Represents​

The value comes from the latest tracked room event or room-state update associated with that model. In practice, it answers this question:

When did Statbate last see this room active in the live data feed?

It is not a promise that the room was online continuously until that exact second, and it is not pulled from a historical platform API after the fact.

When Statbate Shows "online"​

On the free model profile page, Statbate treats a room as online when the last observed activity is still fresh enough to count as live. If no recent activity has been seen, the page switches to a human-readable relative timestamp such as 12 minutes ago or 2 hours ago.

Why It Can Differ from What You See on the Platform​

Possible reasons:

  • The room just went offline and the platform UI has not caught up yet
  • The room is visible in the platform directory, but no current collector-backed activity is being received
  • The collector saw the room recently, but new events stopped arriving

How This Relates to the Online Rooms Page​

The /online page is stricter than a simple "last seen" timestamp. It is meant to show rooms that currently have collector-backed live data, not every room that might still appear in a public directory.
