  It still shows up for me, I would try different browser and if still not working, reach out to twitch to see if they have a better suggestion.

  This might be why:

   

  "Once you reach a certain viewer # threshold, you will get trans coding (quality options). A general rule of thumb is that if you hit triple digits, you'll get it, but the threshold is based on the current viewing population of Twitch, so if there aren't a lot of people on Twitch at the moment, the viewer threshold you need for trans coding will be lower."  ~Brawli55
