Why is my PG3x uptime counter wrong?

[Illusion]

I have been doing a bunch of rebooting my polisy, as well as stopping and starting PG3x for some troubleshooting. My uptime counter on PG3x does not reflect this.

Based on my last system reboot, I would think this should show like 1 day at this point, not close to 7.

What do I not understand?

@Illusion have you tried refreshing the page? Just hit F5 and see if that refreshes it to show a more accurate time. Otherwise, I'd not worry about it too much. Not that impactful (IMO).

Well, now when I look at it, it is correct. First time it has been right in a month. Strange. No, not that impactful. But I had been trying to use that counter as a proxy for Polisy uptime vs IoX uptime in some troubleshooting I am doing on an unrelated issue.

The displayed uptime is pulled from PG3x when the browser application starts.  Once it's running, it just keeps the time updated without querying PG3x all the time.  So if you restart (or reboot the system) you also need to re-load the browser application to reset the uptime counter to the current PG3x uptime.

Thanks @bpwwer

How do I 're-load' the browser application'?

I do not the the F5 refresh is woking like @Geddy refers to on my Mac.

F5 is a browser refresh (for Windows). For the Mac use Command + R.

Might even need to try a "hard refresh" - for the Mac that's Command + Shift + R.

Thanks Geddy!

In my version of Mac, I think it is Option + Command + R to 'Reload Page From Origin' but that worked. Thank you.

On Sequoia Command + Shift + R is 'Show Reader'

Command + R is indeed 'Reload Page'

@Illusion I don't run/use macOS so I was just sharing what I found from a Google search and not even sure what browser it was for when I did it. Glad you found whatever runs a browser refresh and glad that worked.
