Looks like we got some clarity on how Twitch drops have changed recently with this latest blog post: Earn Rockin’ New Drops Watching Overwatch 2 on Twitch:

Q. How long do I have to claim my drops?

You must claim any drops earned at Twitch by Sunday, October 29 at 11:59 PM. If you don’t claim within 24 hours from when the promotion ended, the drop will no longer be available.

Q. Do I need to claim each drop before I can start accumulating hours to get the next drop?

Starting in October 2023, Twitch no longer requires viewers to claim each drop before they can earn progress to the next drop in the campaign.

So you no longer need to claim in order to start progress on the next reward, but you will need to claim within 24 hours of the promotion ending. Overall, this seems like a better method, so there’s less anxiety around claiming the moment an item is earned.

This makes more sense with how narrow the OWWC Twitch drop windows are. As long as you’re watching the full broadcast and hitting claim within a day, you’ll get the rewards.
