Overview
Your pacing day chart shows how you accumulated PacePoints over the day
A thick line shows how many PacePoints you have used
A diagonal guideline shows steady pacing across your pacing day
Together they help you see when you’re pacing behind or ahead of your PaceSetter, so you can decide when to rest and when to do more

What does the pacing day chart show me?
Your pacing day chart shows you how many PacePoints you used at different times of day:
The x-axis shows the time of day
The y-axis shows PacePoints. It starts at zero and goes up to at least your daily budget. If you go over your budget, the scale will extend to show this.
A fixed diagonal guideline shows you what steady pacing across the day would look like.
The PaceSetter progresses along the diagonal guideline over the course of the day, showing where you'd be if you were spreading your PacePoints evenly. It mirrors the one seen on the PacePoints arc.
The thicker line shows your cumulative PacePoints. Think of your PacePoints line as your running total as the day progresses.
You can compare your PacePoints usage to the guideline to help inform when to build in rest or do more. We know some parts of the day require more energy than others. It's normal to sometimes be behind or ahead of your PaceSetter throughout the day.
This chart is designed to make it easier to see where you're at right now so you can make informed pacing decisions. It can also help you spot patterns day to day or across the week.
How do I read the chart?
Notice the gradient of your PacePoints line
A flat horizontal line suggests a period of rest – you were not using many PacePoints at this time
A gentle slope suggests some activity – you were using some PacePoints
A steep slope indicates greater exertion or a busier period – you used more PacePoints at this time
Notice if your PacePoints line is above or below the guideline
If your PacePoints line is above the guideline, you've used more PacePoints than expected for this time of day. You may want to build in more rest later to avoid going over your budget.
If your PacePoints line is below the guideline, you've used fewer PacePoints than expected for this time of day. You may have some capacity for more activity later in the day.
Can I see how many points I'd used at a specific time of day?
Yes, tap and hold anywhere on the chart to see your PacePoints at any point in the day. The chart shows your PacePoints in 5-minute increments.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if I go over my PacePoints budget?
The chart will continue to show your accumulated PacePoints over the day. The y-axis will extend to show your cumulative PacePoints.
Remember, going over your budget from time to time is normal. The chart is there to help you learn your patterns over time, not to judge individual days.
What happens if I use PacePoints after my PaceSetter end time?
Once your pacing day has ended, the PaceSetter (white circle) will stay at your PaceSetter end time.
The diagonal guideline will flatten out and turn into a dotted line so you can easily see when you went over your PacePoints budget.
The thicker PacePoints line will continue to show how many points you used over the rest of the day.
Why are there gaps in my PacePoints line?
Gaps in the line can occur when there is less than 15 minutes of continuous data. For example, if you took off your band to charge it.
If you have early access to sleep tracking, there will also be gaps when the band records you are asleep. This is because you do not accrue PacePoints while you are asleep.
