Can someone explain the Runemate hoursystem to me? So it states the hours is a max but premium bots dont use hours but credits. How come when im at max hours and only use credits/premium bots the hours still stay at max?

Am i correct in assuming that all bots use hours, free and premium, but only premium can go above the maximum??

Yeah but ive been running premium bots only for the last week and it keep my hours at 100% used. even when some hours became available it used them while using a premium bot. At leest it seems like that it is using them..

ah couldnt find this page before and this helps alot. how far you want me to post? i see the 300/300 thing wasnt a fuill week but just 4-5 days. the fishing was a free bot.

Could it be like that 30 days ago i dindt use the bot for over a week; used all the hours and now i have to wait that week out before the hours start dropping?

Its a rolling window system. If u use 6hours today next month (~30days) from now the 6hours will be back.

I've been wondering too. So paid scripts if you use 2 hours and 35 minutes on it you will be charged for the full 3 hours.
But what about for the free scripts when it takes into account botting usage? If I use 2 hours and 15 minutes on a free script will it take 3 hours of usage?

From what ive read it takes an entire hour everytime the new hour starts. so also take that into account when setting a stop timer to set it at like 55 min instead of an entire hour if it is boss sinces they ussually finish the kill

You pay credits at the start of every hour including when you start the bot. Your actual usage time is tracked by the minute as far as i know.
It's a rolling window so each day you are given back the hours you used a month before.
Your hour cap doesn't stop you from using premium bots but i believe that IS how you go into negative hours available.
If you have no hours remaining then you can't start a free or trial bot.
