Lost time due to site/flash web loading?
I'm pretty sure I had set my RT up for an 8-5 schedule with an hour's lunch break, and a coffee break of 15 minutes. Off when I go to my dashboard, le gasp, at approximately 4:30, I only had 6 hours and 36 minutes of recorded time.
Now I took my lunch break of 1 hour (serious timing is serious) and my coffee break of 15 minutes by pausing RT (I have yet to use RescueIdleTime so pausing was the only veritable option). An 8-5 schedule would give me 9 hours, subtracting an hour and fifteen would net me seven hours and forty five minutes.
The sites I frequent are usually flash-heavy, or otherwise, are submission sites that require you to wait during submissions (they don't load a new page, but provide new data when submission is done).
My question is: am I losing seconds during these "loading times" enough to accumulate at least an hour wasted? Sorry if it seems unclear, I just want to know why I'm missing 45-something minutes. I've been in front of my desktop, making sure I don't reach the threshold of 2 minutes for idle time, but I was...quite surprised. o_o Only thing I've been doing this day was passing submissions with crappy loading times.

I’m befuddled.

Inappropriate?RescueTime doesn't understand/pay attention to loading times, so don't sweat that.
It's not uncommon to have significantly less time logged than your entire work day due to how idle timeouts work.
Here's how it works:
RescueTime constant scans to see what's on top (whether it's a site or an app). If your mouse/keyboard activity stops for 2 minutes, RescueTime stops paying attention (until your mouse moves again). When your mouse moves, we subtract 2 minutes from the previous record.
So, as to why your stuff feels low, it COULD mean:
- You are more hands off than average. A lot of reading, thinking, video can result in idle time that's not entirely idle.
- You use a lot of full-screen apps. RescueTime occasionally has difficultly understanding windows when in fullscreen mode (usually games are the culprit)
- You have bits of idle time sprinkled throughout the day-- phone calls, bathroom breaks, staring at clouds, playing with your rubik's cube, etc.
- RescueTime is borked. Increasingly rare, but software is software and things can go wrong! :-) If you suspect something is, we'd probably need to know about your system and have you do a controlled experiment.
You can look at your "by hour" graph for yesterday and see if there's anything that looks odd:

It's VERY common for the minute logged per hour to be 45-58. It's actually fairly RARE to log a full 60 minutes in an hour.
I’m thankful

These were the answers I was looking for. Thank you for answering my question! I feel relieved. ^_^
