Working hours allowance on tier 4 student visa

Hi, I came to the UK in 2018 on Tier 4 General student visa valid for 2 years and 4 months. That visa allowed me to attend 1 year of university and 1 year internship at a workplace approved by the same university. In the first year I was allowed to work 20 hours per week (term time) and 40 hours per week (non term time). In the second year i.e during the internship I was allowed to work 40 hour per week. My employers liked my work and let me continue. My visa got expired on August 31 2020. Recently I applied for another course at a different university I am interested in and have also applied for a fresh tier 4 student visa accordingly. This visa application is still in the process. My online classes have are already started. I would be grateful if you can answer whether I am allowed to work 20 hours or 40 hours per week?

Did you apply for the new visa before or after your old Tier 4 visa expired?

If you applied before or on the date of expiry of your previous visa, then the conditions of your previous visa continue until the decision is taken on your new application.

If you applied after the date of expiry of the previous visa, even just the day after, then you are an overstayer and currently do not have the right to work in the UK.

20. As you say, it is term-time.
