This page explains how to successfully join a chat giveaway when the chat is moving too fast.

Problem

"Your message was not sent because you are sending messages too quickly."

"Your message was not sent because it is identical to the previous one you sent, less than 30 seconds ago."

Solution

Option A

• Use your computer and keep spamming the keyword.
• Keep trying until it goes through.

Option B

• Install 🔗Chatterino.
• Open the chat.
• Type your keyword, then hold Ctrl + Enter (Windows) or Cmd + Enter (Mac).

Advantage: Chatterino only shows your message in chat once it has actually been sent.

Note: I do not advise you to use this feature outside of a giveaway.

Further Context

Chat Pause

Twitch adds an artificial pause to very active chats when a lot of messages are being sent at the same time.
Without these pauses, the chat would move too quickly to read at all.

You can actually time the chat pause: it usually lasts around 2–3 seconds.
For a better chance of your giveaway message going through, try to send your message while the chat is moving not during a pause.
