If you want to avoid cutting it close in the future you can send a GMS or GNS (good morning snap or good night snap), which refers to a random snap you send either before you go to bed or after you wake up, just to keep the streak going.
The 🔥 (fire emoji), which indicates you have a streak going, will also disappear once the streak ends.
