Its details dialog shows a Runtime row. That row used to show the time from start to end, or to now if still running. It now leaves out any time the task spent paused, and updates once a second while the task runs.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe runtime shown is closer to how long the task actually spent running.\n\n- Area: Background Tasks\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
