A REFLECTION · CHARTS & PERSPECTIVE

Read one unusually tall bar

A tall bar is an invitation to inspect the records behind it.

Read the metric definition

A tall bar is an invitation to inspect the records behind it. It can reflect a single long record, several sessions, or a timestamp mistake, and the chart alone cannot distinguish these.

Inspect the contributing records

Select the matching date in Month view or inspect the relevant list entries. Compare their starts, ends, and notes before deciding whether any correction is needed.

The seven-day chart adds completed main-history durations by local end date. An overnight session is assigned as a whole to its ending day, and multiple records ending that day are added together.

Check the relevant distinction

If the bar contains several legitimate records, its total represents their sum. If one timer was accidentally left open, correct that record using a reliable end time.

Interpret within the data limits

Do not remove an accurate outlier merely to make the chart look regular. Preserve the event and add context if that helps you understand it later.
