Renewal should trigger if you already have the Broken Status Effect active when you get unhooked
It simply should heal you once the Broken Status Effect is removed, not have a fixed 20 second countdown that weirdly works with Vigil and the Broken Status Effect itself with different durations.

My theory is it works on a specific timer to prevent you from combining Deliverance and Renewal.
Yea, it does have an internal countdown of exactly 20 seconds, so even when Vigil reduces the duration of the Broken Status Effect, once it's gone you will still need to wait a few seconds before getting healed.
My guess is when the countdown reaches zero and you still have the Broken Status Effect, the heal just gets ignored, which is a bummer, it should be tied to the Broken Status Effect itself for more Perk synergy.
Its pretty minor and renewal does see a little bit of play. I would say this is a fine change, some might even run it with deliverance.
the main reason why i don't run it is because of requirement to need to heal teammates. if it just healed me off hook without needing a heal then I would use it. it is too inconsistent vs high-tier killers that injure people quickly and enforce you to do generators while injured. you have no time to heal teammates to trigger the perk.
Agree, it would be really good if it was more like a budget Adrenaline haha
