Streamer offline according to API when actually streaming

Hello, I have a website that allows the user to view streams with the option to change channels when there are multiple streamers online. This is obviously nothing new. But there’s something strange with a particular channel. To check on which channels are online or offline, I make use of the Twitch API (https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams?channel=). I have multiple channels listed in there to get it all in one request. However, one particular channel is always listed as offline. Funny thing …

Api.twitch.tv/kraken/streams/ endpoint unstable

Hi, i come forward with this issue as i am building an app using the twitch api in certain intervals. Kraken Streams Endpoint returns null if offline but as it seems this is happening also when the stream is online/live. i saw this issue also on twitch.tv with an offline overlay poping up and the stream going offline but after refresh the stream was still online. is this a known issue or am i experiencing any rate limits?
