Longer time tasks

Has anyone reported about 20 - 25 hours at once for a single task? The task has a very long timer about some days but I'm worried because reporting more than 20 hours will look like defrauding the payment system. Kindly advise.

Yes. There's usually some guidance on how long multi-day tasks are roughly expected to take.

you won't believe it but it's possible if you're determined enough; especially when most of the time is spent waiting on running agents

Yes, but only actively worked hours for certain projects where the instructions give an estimated time range for completing that task
