Idle rules
When your laptop counts as idle.
Only time that meets every rule is counted. The app checks about once a minute and stops counting the moment you come back.
Counted when all are true
Measured on your laptop, about once a minute.

Each counted minute is worth about S$0.0002 per core at estimated prices, so an 8-core laptop earns about S$0.002 a minute while idle. Estimates only until paid jobs exist.
