The time studied today is very precisely reported. I think that such a high precision is not required and it even decreases clarity. For example, in this case, it would have been better if it was reported as "Studied 10 cards in 6 minutes today (36s/card) [Screenshot_20240312-100519~2] A related…

@dae I do not support the suggestion. While this precision may not help you, seeing the .42 in a 7.42 or a .62 in a 5.62 s per card is a massive difference if you have a crap ton of cards. It is a humongous difference.

You might want to check your math on that. It’s at most +/- 8.3m per 1000 cards. It doesn’t seem like a humongous difference, especially for something that is merely a record of past activity.

Except it is not only a thousand cards : ) Although I am not the best in math (I AM sure you are), I am also pretty sure I have a good idea of what I am talking about. For people with a much smaller collection, it may not make sense, but it will if you have tens of thousands of cards where smaller…

My opinion is that I don’t see what is to be gained by removing the decimals, so I would prefer to leave the current behavior alone. Giving more information than some people desire is better than giving less than others want, because that way the people who want more precision still get the info the…

This change is even worse than I thought. I did a long session of Anki today and it tells me I’ve studied for 1.22 hours. No human I know (and I know many programmers), think of hours in terms of 0.22 hours. This should be “1h 13m” or “73m”. (Assuming 1.22 means 1.22 hours and not 1hour and 22minu…

@DerIshmaelite @garrettm30 do you really find it useful to know that you studied for 12.2 minutes instead of 12 minutes? Or that a card will show up in 8.4 rather than 8 or 9 hours. If yes, can you explain how that helps you? I find it massively distracting. All of this is information we have to …

I dont see at all how it is distracting. As @garrettm30 suggested, better have it and not need it than need it and not have it. This is a problem created out of nothing. As for the 12.2 minutes thing, it is not the same as 8 and 8.4 hours, now is it. I already wrote out my argument to Danika saying…

Reduce precision of time studied today

Anki Suggestions

I agree. I would add:

For “show next card” (answer buttons in reviewer), show one decimal level for months too.
If the time studied today (not the time per card) is <60 seconds, round it to the nearest second.
