Hi! Thanks for reaching out about your issue with StayFree resetting the countdown when blocking YouTube for 2 hours. I want to make sure I understand completely—when you block YouTube and start the countdown, it resets to zero every time you leave the browser window or switch tabs, right?

If so, it sounds like StayFree might not be properly tracking the elapsed time while the app or tab is in the background. Let me guide you through some steps that might address this:

1. Check StayFree App Permissions and Battery Settings:
Sometimes, StayFree’s timer can reset if the app is restricted from running in the background. Since you said you're on Windows, please check that StayFree is allowed to run without battery restrictions or sleep mode interruptions.
- Go to Settings > Apps > StayFree > Battery and ensure that background activity is allowed.

2. Confirm Time Tracking Settings:
StayFree has settings related to usage tracking and how often it refreshes the timer. Open StayFree settings and look for options named something like "Usage Limits & Tracking" or "Usage Time Tracking."
- Ensure that timer tracking is enabled consistently and not restricted to active tabs only.

3. Daily Reset Time Misalignment:
Although your issue is about a short 2-hour block, if the app's "Daily Reset Time" is mismatched with your system clock, it can cause weird resets. Check this setting in StayFree preferences and align it with your system time or set it at a convenient hour.

4. Update StayFree:
Make sure you’re using the latest version of StayFree, as updates sometimes fix these kinds of timing bugs.

If after trying these the issue keeps happening, it might be a bug where StayFree timing resets when focus changes between windows or tabs.

Would you mind letting me know:
- Are you using StayFree as a browser extension or a standalone app on Windows?
- Have you already tried changing any of these settings or updating the app?

Once I know a bit more, I can guide you through more specific troubleshooting or recommend advanced fixes.
