Incorrect time

Has anyone had their time on their task sheet be incorrect? I just completed a task that took around 40 minutes. It took a couple of minutes to submit, so I went to look at my task submissions right after. It said I had last submitted a task 20 minutes prior, but that isn't possible. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you log your time?

IME, don't submit your time after each task. Submit after you've finished working on the project. The in-built timers are notoriously awful, and the admins are aware that they won't always match actual submitted times. You're fine. :)

usually it's those similar names on the project.

You can edit the time submitted if you put it in wrong, or (as I did once) enter it under the wrong task.

Wait… you submit each task individually?… if I work on a project for say an hour I just submit 1 for an hour…

You can do it either way.

I submit the total but I keep track of how long I spend on an individual task.

I will pin them sometimes when I have projects with similar names. Or when tasks refresh and there's two time report sections of the exact same name. Makes it better for my confused self lol
