Explanation for cut-off limit #28

Closed williamboman closed 3 years ago

williamboman commented 3 years ago

Hey! I never really understood what the Cut-off limit is, and I have a feeling I'm not alone. I think it'd be nice with some explanation in the UI :). Thanks for this software btw! Just upgraded from <v1 to v1.2.0

Thanks a lot for using Hakatime! I will add a tooltip with the explanation on the UI.

The explanation is mentioned here in the wakatime website.

Your timeout preference is the maximum time allowed between durations when calculating your total coding activity for a day. Think of it like a granularity setting. It can’t make you code more or less, it just combines durations with more or less accuracy.

For ex, if you typed code for 2 mins, took a 13 min break, then typed code for 1 min:

  • 10 min timeout: Your dashboard shows 3 mins of coding activity (2 mins + 1 min).
  • 5 min timeout (default): Your dashboard shows 16 mins of coding activity (2 mins + 13 min break + 1 min).
  • 30 min timeout: Your dashboard still shows 16 mins of coding activity (2 mins + 13 min break + 1 min; the timeout preference only affects time between heartbeats not surrounding).

Maybe timeout is a better name for it?

@williamboman Check out the demo instance, hopefully now it's a bit more clear.

Any other suggestions are highly welcome. Especially around charts/analytics :)

Ah, I did not think of searching Wakatime docs for explanations. Their explanation makes perfect sense.

Was this added? I can't seem to trigger the tooltip when using the demo instance 🤔

You can trigger it if you hover over the icon.

Aah I didn't realize I had to hover the icon, even after reading your comment 🙈. Found it now! Thanks :)
