Honkai Star Rail 4.6 Livestream Codes & Redemption Time
The Honkai: Star Rail Version 4.6 livestream codes are three redemption codes (each worth 100 Stellar Jades) that are revealed during the official special program broadcast and are valid for a limited time—typically only about 16–24 hours from the moment they appear on screen. You redeem them on the official HoYoverse redemption website or in-game, and the exact expiry time is always shown on the redemption page.
What the 4.6 Livestream Codes Are
For every major version update, HoYoverse hosts a special program livestream (usually on Twitch and YouTube) that announces the new characters, events, and quality-of-life changes. During that stream, three unique codes are displayed on screen. Each code grants 100 Stellar Jades, so the total from the stream is 300 Stellar Jades. These codes are the same for all players worldwide, regardless of server, but each account can redeem each code only once.
The Version 4.6 livestream codes follow the same pattern as previous versions. For example, in Version 4.5, the codes were something like HSR45A, HSR45B, and HSR45C (actual codes vary). The 4.6 codes will be announced during the stream and will have a similar structure, often starting with HSR46 or a similar prefix.
When the Codes Expire
The redemption window is short. Historically, the codes from the special program are valid for about 16 to 24 hours after they are first shown. The exact deadline is displayed on the official redemption website after you enter the code. If you try to redeem after the deadline, you will see an error message saying the code has expired.
To avoid missing out, redeem the codes as soon as the stream ends. The stream typically airs on a Friday or Saturday, and the codes are usually valid until the end of the following day. For Version 4.6, the stream is expected to air roughly two weeks before the actual update release, so the redemption window will close well before the patch goes live.
How to Redeem the Codes
There are two official ways to redeem the codes. Both require you to be logged into your HoYoverse account.
- Official redemption website: Go to the HoYoverse redemption page (hoyo.link/redemption or the one linked from the official site). Log in, select your server (America, Europe, Asia, or TW/HK/MO), enter your character UID and the code, and click redeem.
- In-game: Open the game, go to the Phone menu (the smartphone icon), select the “…� (more) option, then choose “Redemption Code.� Enter the code and confirm. The Stellar Jades will be sent to your in-game mail.
Make sure you are on the correct server. If you enter a code while on the wrong server, the redemption will fail. Also, ensure your UID is correct—entering a wrong UID will either fail or, in rare cases, send the rewards to another account.
Common Problems and Solutions
Players often run into a few issues when redeeming these codes. Here are the most common ones and how to fix them:
- Code expired: If you see “Code has expired,� the redemption window has closed. There is no way to get the rewards after that, so always redeem immediately.
- Code already used: Each code can only be redeemed once per account. If you see this, you already redeemed it on this account.
- Invalid code: Double-check for typos. Codes are case-sensitive and often include a mix of letters and numbers. Copy-paste from a reliable source if possible.
- Server mismatch: The code is not server-specific, but your UID is. Make sure you select the server that matches your UID.
- Redemption page not loading: Sometimes the site is overloaded right after the stream. Wait a few minutes and try again, or use the in-game method.
Why the Codes Are Time-Limited
HoYoverse deliberately makes these codes short-lived to encourage players to watch the livestream live or at least check the official channels shortly after. The limited window creates urgency and helps build community engagement around the announcement. It also prevents the codes from being shared indefinitely, which would reduce the incentive to watch the stream.
From a player’s perspective, the 300 Stellar Jades are a nice bonus but not a game-changer. For context, a single pull costs 160 Stellar Jades, so the three codes give you just under two pulls. Still, it’s free currency, and many players make it a habit to redeem them every version.
Alternatives to the Livestream Codes
If you miss the livestream or the codes expire, there are other ways to get free Stellar Jades:
- Daily login: Log in every day to get a small amount of Stellar Jades from the daily reset.
- Maintenance compensation: Every version update gives 300 Stellar Jades as compensation for maintenance downtime.
- Version update events: Each patch has multiple events that reward Stellar Jades, often totaling several thousand.
- Simulated Universe and Forgotten Hall: These endgame modes give one-time and weekly rewards.
- Character trials: Each new character trial gives 20 Stellar Jades.
So even if you miss the codes, you can still accumulate a decent amount of currency through regular play.
