The suspension, which took effect on March 1, 2026, bars her from livestreaming and accessing certain streaming-related features on the platform for approximately 24 hours.
According to a notification issued by Twitch, the action was taken for violating its Community Guidelines, specifically rules relating to sexual content. The platform stated that the violation will remain on her record until May 30, 2026.
The notice read:
“Your account has been temporarily suspended from streaming. You will not have access to some features related to streaming for the duration of your suspension.”
Phyna retains the option to appeal the decision or submit a counter-notification under Twitch’s DMCA guidelines if she believes the suspension was issued in error.
The sanction reportedly followed a livestream session she scheduled with another influencer, which she tagged as 18+. The age restriction and nature of the broadcast are believed to have triggered the guideline strike.
