Noticed this on Fri/Sat but no actual proof it was caused by the updates on that day (although it seems likely).

From testing earlier - it appears that having a browser window open (even if it is not focused or visible) is causing the last active time to update once a minute. This in turn is updating the API and giving false information about a persons activity.

Diablo has been active once a minute for some considerable time this week :D



I'm guessing what we're seeing here is the times that Diablo starts/shuts down his computer.

Because here is mine - I don't shut my computer down but I do actually sleep. Albeit not much.



Tested this with Dan also and getting him to close his browser session is the only way to be 'AFK' more than 60 seconds.

Hey @KWYY, thanks for the report. Can you confirm specifically what datapoint is populating this? I know you said last active, but can you provide a request that you are using to obtain that value as an entrypoint on our side?

This is also a problem in-game. One of the people using me for rep said that I appeared as active all the time despite me only restarting jobs every 15 minutes.
