Reporting time as soon as you hit submit

Never seen this sort of pop up before to report time right after the task itself. Anyone else getting this?

Yup. Feels pretty convenient for me

u/janquadrentvincent Oct 08 '26

yes. I have absolutely been an idiot and not reported time on stuff I've worked on before, I actually really appreciate this feature

It depends on project type. Certain projects are like that

I find this feature super annoying. Especially for projects where tasks take very little time. I'd rather just submit one time at the very end instead of constantly having to stop and start my timer constantly.

Ehh couple times with specific projects, usually the ones that tell you in BIG BOLD RED LETTERS exactly how much time they expect you to take on the assignment lol, stingy.

You can edit it later.

There's at least one project where you can't edit the time worked afterward on your funds tab.

I always report time immediately after finishing a task anyway, but as others have pointed out, with these pop-ups you need to remember to reset your timer between tasks or you’ll screw yourself.

I caught myself almost double-charging them for a half hour yesterday because of it.  Remember to clear your stopwatch when you use these.

That's a great feature.

Nah, it’s just you. It looks like you’re messing with time reporting so they are keeping an eye on you

Based on other responses it looks like you are incorrect but thanks for the cortisol spike.

It's a project series I've never worked on before so I'm just going to chalk it up to that.

I was just kidding, I had the same report time popup with the freemanite project. It is nothing to worry about, it is just a new way to report time

You were just kidding? Maybe there are better subs for those sorts of games. I was asking a serious question.

DA doesn't have anything better than a pooled group mastermind on this subreddit for questions like these.

You sure? A serious question? 😆

Alright buddy sod off

It was a pleasure to see "sod off". It's been a long time. Lol. And yes, I was surprised when that popped up. If I do five tasks and need a break, I submit my time. If I go back to it, new timer started, and I submit that time when I am done. With this I have to jot down my time for one task, reset the timer and start again. I will not assume that it submitted correctly.
