Must know
  • Only some types have a limit. It applies only to work types and break types your club gave a maximum duration, and it counts one segment at a time.
  • You get a 30-second warning. Then the segment ends on its own at exactly the limit.
  • Afterwards you’re clocked out. This happens even when it was a break: clock in again if you’re still working.
Who has a limit. Your club can set a Max duration (minutes) on any work type or break type in Settings > Time Tracking > Work Types. It is a whole number of minutes, up to one week. Blank means no cap. One segment at a time. The limit counts a single stretch of time, not your whole shift. If you take a break, or switch work type after the 3-minute correction window, a new segment starts and its own limit (if it has one) counts from zero. Inside the correction window, your segment just changes type, so the new limit counts from your original start. What you see as it gets close. The Time Clock page and the header clock popover show the countdown. The header button shows only your running time.
  • Early on, the timer notes the cap, for example “Max 2h”.
  • At about two minutes left, the timer turns yellow and reads “Auto-ends in” with the time remaining. The header button turns yellow too.
  • In the final minute, the timer and the header button turn red and pulse.
  • At 30 seconds left, a pop-up says “Your shift will auto-end in [N] seconds.” For a break it says “break” instead of “shift”. You see it once, even with the header and the Time Clock page both open.
What happens at the limit. The timer stops at the maximum and reads “Max duration reached - ending…” until the clock refreshes. A pop-up says “Your shift was ended automatically - max duration reached.” (again “break” for a break), and your state changes to Clocked Out. The segment ends exactly at start plus the limit, so time past the limit is not counted. If you kept working, clock in again and ask a manager to add the missing time. Even with no screen open. Uplifter still closes the segment shortly after the limit passes. The recorded end is still exactly the limit. Breaks are different. When you end a break yourself, you go back to work. When a capped break ends automatically, you are left clocked out and must clock in again.
