Recommended Usage for Bonus Time

[digitalrealism]

I have been working with bonus times and have some questions. I noticed that if I press a bonus time all is well and I can reset the bonus. I have found that of I press another bonus time while I am already in bonus time, that one replaces the previous one I pressed. If I press another bonus time, it gets replaced again. And lastly, reset bonus does not work on the first press. If I pressed bonus 4 times, i need to keep pushing reset until it clears them all away. Watching the family link app as I do this, I can see it backing them all out in order. Is this expected?

Hi @digitalrealism, sorry for the late reply, this one slipped through. What you see is exactly how Google models it: every bonus is a separate override, they stack, the app shows the most recent one, and "reset" cancels only the most recent. The integration mirrors that: each press of a bonus button posts a new override, and the reset button cancels the one currently reported as active.

For now the clean way is to press reset before adding a new bonus. I will make the reset button cancel every bonus of the day in one go in a coming release, since pressing it four times is nobody's idea of a reset.

Shipped in 2.2.5: the reset button now cancels every bonus of the day on the device in one press, whatever the number of bonuses stacked. Thanks for describing it so precisely.
