Do you have a particular number of hours in mind?
For me, Emacs uptime is usually several days and sometimes less when I
am doing Elisp development.

There is a possible argument to be made that we should only look into
the real uptime people use rather than trying to measure some
unreasonable long uptime. It will also be more natural to collect
statistics then.

These are not the conclusions we should take seriously yet. Not from a
single user data point.

Maybe you have thoughts about what else can be deduced from the data I
provided. Or about what else should be recorded. (For some context, I
realized that it is necessary to subtract idle time when recording Emacs
uptime. My overnight graphs show flat lines when Emacs is idle).
