My Watch Time Hours not updating please help me My real watch time hours is 1022 but when I go to earn page it showing that i only have 299 Watch Time Hours

Watch time updates typically depend on various factors, such as the accuracy of tracking and the timing of updates. It can take some time for your watch hours to reflect accurately on the earnings page due to processing delays. If there are discrepancies between what you're seeing and what you expect, it might just require some patience for the system to catch up. Make sure your content adheres to YouTube's guidelines, as any violations could affect watch time calculations.
