The 100-hour Spotlight rule (max Creator Rewards)
Lead: As of May 7, 2026, Snap requires at least 100 hours of Total Spotlight View Time on your posts over the last 28 days to qualify for maximum Creator Rewards.
This is not the invite floor. Invitation criteria still list 3,000 Spotlight hours inside the 15,000 total-hour window. The 100-hour rule is about maximum rewards for creators in the ads monetization program.
Where to find it
Insights (app or Profile Manager) → section Daily Rewards Eligibility → Total Spotlight View Time (last 28 days).
How Klaro shows it
A separate line item from the 3,000-hour invite gap — so you do not confuse “max rewards maintenance” with “invite eligibility.”
