Most time tracking problems come from one of four things: a workspace policy, an entry’s status, a missing capability, or a switched-off app. Find your message below.

The timer will not start or stop

An entry will not save

All of these come from Settings → Time policies. See Time policies.

An entry will not change

Hours are missing or wrong

Check whether an entry was deleted. Deleted time leaves every total immediately. Also check you are looking at the right period – the Time page groups by your workspace’s timesheet period, which may be two weeks or a month.
Entries belong to the day they started, read in the workspace timezone. An entry that crosses midnight shows a small +1 beside its end time and stays on the earlier day.
Your workspace rounds billable time. The exact tracked hours are always kept; the rounded figure is what bills. Check the rounding increment in Settings → Time policies.
No billable rate resolved for that person, project or client on that date, or the entry has no project. Attach the project, then set a rate – see Billable rates.
An entry with no project never reaches a budget. Open the entry and attach the project.

The overlap warning

Saving an entry that shares time with another one produces:
Entry saved. Heads up – it overlaps another entry on your timesheet.
This is a notice, not an error. The entry saved. TimeTracker never blocks an overlap – you may log time however you need to. If the overlap was a mistake, edit or delete one of the two entries. A deleted entry stops causing the warning.

A control is missing

Remember the difference: an app that is off is hidden entirely. A feature not on your plan stays visible with a paywall. See I cannot see a feature.

Idle detection problems

Both idle choices stop the timer. Keep time saves the whole span; Discard idle time ends the entry at your last activity. Neither one pauses.

Location rules are blocking you

If your workspace uses location rules and you are off-site, tracking or clocking in may be held back. You get a banner explaining it, and nothing you have already tracked is affected. See Location rules overview.

Still stuck

Gather this before you ask for help:
  1. The exact message you saw.
  2. The date and person the entry belongs to.
  3. The entry’s status – draft, submitted, approved, locked, invoiced.
  4. Your role, and whether the app is on in Settings → Apps.
Then see Contact support.
