Timer limits and rounding

Timers that run too long

If you forget to stop a timer, Springtrack caps it rather than letting it run indefinitely. By default, a timer that's been running for 16 hours (the Owner can change this in Settings → Time tracking) is automatically stopped. It's clamped to the 16-hour mark — not to "right now" — so a timer left running overnight records a sensible duration, not 30 hours. The entry is flagged so you know it was auto-stopped, and you're notified.

This safety net runs for every plan; it's a data-integrity guard, not a premium feature.

Rounding

Your organisation can round time (e.g. up to the next 15 minutes) in Settings → Time tracking. Each entry is rounded on its own, then added up, everywhere time is billed or reported:

• hours imported onto an invoice
• time reports, and their CSV and spreadsheet exports
• Timesheets day and week totals
• the Dashboard's unbilled figure
• a project's budget use

The timer, and each entry in a list, show the time as you tracked it. The exact tracked seconds are always kept — rounding never changes what's stored. Changing the rule changes reports and totals from then on; invoices you've already made keep the hours they were made with.

Very short sessions

A timer stopped before the organisation's minimum session (1 minute by default, set in Settings → Time tracking) isn't saved, and a message tells you so. It's never dropped without telling you. Anything at or above the minimum is saved as a normal entry.
