When your learning time is up
What you see when a parent sets a daily limit or quiet hours, and how to still get help.
A parent can set a daily limit for TutorCat. They can also set quiet hours, like bedtime, when new questions wait until morning. Here is what that looks like for you.
When time is nearly up
When you have 5 minutes or less left, a note appears at the top of the Studio. It says how many minutes are left today.
- If new questions will stop at the limit, it says "Finish this step, the answer will wait for tomorrow."
- If your parent chose a warning only, it says you can keep going, and that it's a good moment to wrap up.
Tap Dismiss (the ×) to hide the note.
- 1: Time is nearly up
- 2: Hide this note
When time is up
If your parent chose to stop new questions, you see That's it for today. It tells you why:
- "You've used your" minutes for today, or
- "It's quiet hours now."
You also see how many minutes you learned today, your day streak, and when you can come back.
- 1: See your work
- 2: Help is always here
You can still:
- Tap Look at my portfolio. Looking at your portfolio doesn't count against the limit.
- Read your old chats.
- Tap Need to talk to someone? This always works. See below.
Help is never switched off
Want more time?
The limit is your parent's choice. If you think it's too short, or the quiet hours don't fit your homework, talk to them about it. You can see today's time and the limit on the Vitals page too.
