Are you talking about the timeShiftBufferDepth attribute? That attribute specifies how long the content is alive on the server. If you tried to make it longer, we may not be able to download the segments because the segments no longer exist on the server. We could add a way to reduce the size similar to the seek range but for live.

I think this feature is not working correctly. I will reopen and investigate.

The override set by the player after the initial manifest is parsed is wiped when a live manifest is updated.

Huh. But only on DASH. Well, that explains why I didn't notice, I was mostly testing with HLS.
I'll look into it.

No need, I'm already putting together the CL.
