Recover missing time entries caused by sync failures, idle trimming, or accidental deletion.

Common causes

Sync failure: entries tracked offline but not uploaded before a cache reset.

Idle trimming: auto-removed after no response to idle prompt.

Accidental deletion: member or manager deleted an entry.

Wrong organization: time tracked in a different org context.

Prevent future gaps

Enable timer reminders and daily timeline review.

Avoid resetting local sync data without exporting pending offline entries first.

Respond to idle prompts promptly to prevent auto-trimming.
