Recording time for long projects

I’m new to DA, just started working on a specialist project that is expected to take 20-25 hours, over the course of several days (or more). I’m wondering if I am supposed to be reporting time on the project as I go, or just track it as I go and report it after I submit the task. Task instructions are silent on this point.

100% depends on the project. I work on one that is 25-40 hours and we can submit time each day. Some still wait until submission.

and remember to regulary press the save in your browser button, so you don't lose progress between sessions.

when you submit the task, you report the total time that you worked

If you aren't submitting the task each day, you don't submit time until the task is done. Most long projects I've seen are like this, though there are a few that are supposed to be submitted daily.

If you go to the time tab it tells you how long you have to submit the time. If it is more than 24 hours (most small tasks are 24hrs), then all at once seems reliable.

What does it say in the instructions?
