There's an option that you can find in the stream dashboard, in the part with the colored squares for like starting a raid or changing goals or settings, the option is "Turn off raids for 1 hour". You can use that to prevent raids toward the end of your stream, if getting a raid toward the end of your stream is that big of an issue.

Though, in my experience, most raiders will be understanding if they raid into your stream as you're ending/raiding out. If anything, stick around for 5-10 minutes, if you have the time, and welcome them in and tell them about yourself and your stream, while also letting them know that you need to end and raid out. But never feel like you have to stay just because you got a raid while you're trying to end. Anyone that gets upset about raiding into you ending probably isn't someone you want around anyway.

There is an option to turn off raids for an hour. You can add it to the quick actions dock in the stream manager. You can pop the dock out, copy the URL, and add it as a custom browser dock in OBS as well.

Honestly, I know its supposed to be good for growth, but we very rarely raid on my stream. Honestly, if I've got energy to hang out long enough to make a raid worth it, I'll just keep going myself for the most part. I build community different ways, but not so much by raids.

My viewers mostly will stay long enough to be polite, then jet anyway. Occasionally we'll catch a stream we're really excited about, but I stream pretty late myself

As a viewer, I've never been less interested in a feature. Streamer says "ok I'm ending, let's find someone to raid" and I close the tab.

As a (not so much anymore) streamer, I didn't care for it much either.

Just turn off raids for next hour on the dashboard.
