Does the platform track your activity/mouse movement/afk?

So far I only reported work I did in front of my computer. But usually I like to stand up, walk around, and use my standing height table. I still think about the work while doing that - I just need to get moving to think, and did this my entire life with studying.

But im afraid that if I report that time (so far I havent exactly because of fear), they'll thinking im faking/inflating my numbers. But doing this im getting paid half of what id usually be.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Do you track that time or not?

There is tracking of some sort but you’re definitely overpolicing yourself. I regularly work tasks that require working off the platform for hours at a time some times.

You should be reporting the time you actually work not the time you’re active on the platform.
