So, I created a giveaway since I had a lot of games to give away now. I thought I would be able to do all the giveaways now, but it seems that since I only gave away 2 games so far, I can only put up 4 for now. Not realizing this, I placed 48 hours time on it, but at that rate it'll take me an insane amount of time to give away everything, so I deleted the giveaway and will replace it with a shorter one on the same 4 copies of the same game. The problem is, I reached my maximum with my deleted giveaway, and I can't create anything. Do I need to wait those 48 hours to be able to give away these games? Or is it some kind of error that I'm still unable to recreate the giveaway? Or even there's some kind of "time penalty" for messing up?

That's stupid, because they are able to help. It is much better to ask us.

I asked the community because I'm new to giveaways (only created 2, never deleted or anything), and I wasn't sure what was the rule about this kind of thing. I browsed the forums and found nothing, and I expected someone to know the answer: and below, indeed, some people did know. Didn't want to create a support ticket until I knew what to do exactly, and since I got a legit answer in 4 minutes (and after that I created a ticket indeed), it was the right decision.

Deletions detract from your maximum. You have been locked out. Contact support and hope they take mercy.

Deleting giveaway removes one from your pool. You need to contact support to get more now.

I just did that. Unluckily for me, I had 4 giveaways to do, and with 4 copies in one giveaway (wanted to do 6 copies, but 4 was my maximum), that basically drained all my chances. Filed a ticket, hopefully the issue will be fixed, otherwise I wasted money on several copies of games I own.

Once a giveaway is marked as received, it'll open up a spot for you to give away another game.

But I have no other giveaways running, so unless I get other chances granted, I won't automatically get anything back. Poor planning on my side, but I had no idea how this thing worked beforehand.

You could give them to me and I would "give them away" for you (if you know what I mean ^^) :D ;P
