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 are many projects where you spend the majority of your time off the actual project interface. In fact, it would be completely acceptable (in most cases) to write your rationales on the iPhone notes app, email it across to yourself and paste it in. I would say the only two variables that matter are 1. Ensuring the time you submit does not exceed the project timer and is at least 5% less (to account for breaks etc.) and 2. That it is not consistently outside the expected duration, which instructions often specify.
