You must claim a drop before you can gain any progress on the next drop. For example, you have to claim the Zenyatta drop first before the hours watched counts for Ramattra.
If a drop isn't progressing, check if the channel you're watching has Twitch drops enabled or if the streamer switched over to a game that's not Overwatch 2.
If you still cannot earn progression after claiming a drop on an eligible channel, then launch Overwatch 2, equip the claimed item, and refresh the Twitch channel and drops inventory page.
