Prevent double ads on triggered ads

I set up an action to automatically run Twitch ads when I switch to my BRB screen, but I ran into an issue where I transitioned after ads had already been running for ~20 seconds and the result was that it ran a second 3min block of ads immediately after the first set finished. I'm looking for a way to have the ads trigger only if the next scheduled ad break is soon/ it's been a long time since the last one.

My first thought was to simply retrieve how long until the next ad break, but it looks like that info is provided by the Upcoming Ad trigger, which doesn't help me. So right now it's looking like the way forward is to add a global variable and set up an Ad Run trigger to stick a timestamp in it, then compare against current timestamp in my scene transition trigger. Is there a simpler/more built in way?
