I have been running into an annoying categorization issue over the past week where RescueTime is unable to distinguish between scripting tests and casual gaming. Whenever I test custom automation routines or run execution environments alongside my development setup, the desktop agent automatically logs the whole duration as high-distraction gaming rather than productive software work. Even when I am just reviewing release logs or downloading necessary patch files from the [website](https://codexexecutor.ph/), the background monitor bundles everything into non-productive entertainment hours. Has anyone found an effective way to set custom filtering rules so these lightweight testing tools stop getting grouped with the actual game client processes? ---
