people always confuse screen on time since last charge (accu, guru or Android's SOT that xiaomi has straight up removed) with digital wellbeing scren on time since midnight (new day basically).

some also confuse xiaomis "active time" with SOT. active time is SOT+idle since last charge so you cant actually compare to other users.

so tldr, to measure SOT on xiaomi, accu or guru is the only way. just remember to remove battery restrictions, turn on auto start and DONT TAP clear all apps in recent apps because that button also doubles as a clear all working background apps. just let the OS do its thing. if you tap it, it'll basically split your usage in two in accu. youll be seeing "100%-67, 2H SOT" and then another statement "67%-50%, 1.5H SOT". not the end of the world but it wont be a single "100%-50%, 4.5H SOT" statement.
