Why did my VP go up or down?

VP goes up when you do things that earn it, streaming, posting, completing creator quests, referring friends, and staying active. It generally does not drop on its own; your total VP is cumulative. If your displayed level seemed to change unexpectedly, it is usually a quest reward landing or progress within a level being recalculated.

VP is cumulative, you build it over time, and it normally only moves up. If you noticed a change, here is what is most likely behind it.

Why VP went up

• You finished a stream. Session VP is awarded once the broadcast ends and the session is tallied.
• A creator quest paid out. Quests award VP on completion.
• A referral landed. When a friend signs up with your link, you both get a VP boost.
• General activity. Ongoing participation keeps VP ticking up.

Why it might look like it went down

Your lifetime VP is not taken away for normal activity. What can look like a drop is usually the progress bar within a level resetting after you level up (you start the next level near empty), or a pending reward that had been shown optimistically settling to its final value. The level number itself does not fall.

VP is separate from Coins. Spending Coins never reduces your VP.
