Troubleshooting activity: why are my minutes missing, low or different on two screens?

A step-by-step checklist for missing activity, wrong totals, quotas that do not move, and numbers that disagree between pages.

Written by Liam Radford

My minutes are 0 or missing

Work through these:

  1. Are you at or above the tracked rank? An admin chooses the lowest tracked rank (Settings > Activity > Activity Role). Below it, nothing is recorded.

  2. Are you a member of the workspace with a role?

  3. Is the loader in the game, and is it the latest? Every download of the loader makes a new key and stops the old one working. A game running an old loader is not tracked.

  4. Is HTTP enabled in the game (Game Settings > Security > Allow HTTP Requests)?

  5. Were you playing in Studio or a private server? Those are not tracked by default.

  6. Did you only just play? A session that has not ended counts when it ends. The dashboard marks a live one with LIVE.

  7. Was the server shut down abruptly? A leave that was never sent can leave a gap. Ask a manager for an adjustment.

My total is lower than I expected

  • Idle time is subtracted if idle tracking is on (you count as away after about 2 minutes without moving).

  • A reset may have started a new period. Your old minutes are in Last Period.

  • A manager may have removed minutes. Check your timeline for "Manual Adjustment".

A quota is not moving

  • Is the quota limited to a session type?

  • Is it a custom quota that needs ticking or a manager sign-off?

  • Is the quota for your role or department?

  • Sessions only count if you claimed a role in them.

Two screens show different numbers

Some screens use their own calculation, so they can differ by a minute or two (for example the Staff page and the leaderboard, or timesheets and the dashboard). Timesheets also split by UTC day. See "How are activity minutes counted exactly? (the one rule)".

The leaderboard does not show me

You may be below the leaderboard's lowest rank, or have no activity this period.

Hosted/attended counts look wrong

These come from sessions you claimed, not from the game. Check you were actually in a role.

Ask for a correction

Ask someone with Activity: adjustments to add or remove minutes, with a reason. See "Add or remove minutes by hand (manual adjustments)".
