Read the metric definition
Two durations can be compared as time values even when their completion markers differ. Goal reached is evaluated against each record's own saved goal, so it is not a universal threshold.
Inspect the contributing records
Read actual duration, protocol, and goal context together. If one session used a shorter goal, its marker may be reached with less elapsed time than the other session.
The chart's compact hour labels are rounded, while individual records retain hours-and-minutes displays. A summary is a view of stored timing data, not a measurement of nutrition, mood, or medical outcomes.
Check the relevant distinction
This difference is especially relevant after you change routines. Older records retain their own protocol and goal rather than being rewritten under today's preference.
| Check | Practical meaning |
|---|---|
| Duration | Direct time value |
| Marker | Relative to that session's goal |
Interpret within the data limits
Avoid using marker counts alone to rank unlike sessions. The comparison is partly about selected intentions, not solely about elapsed time.
