Hey guys so I have a problem. The thing is live in a so called Student hotel and use their internet, however I noticed that my hours are disappearing like crazy, yesterday for example I had 180 left this morning there was only 54 left. Btw I don't gold farm and only use Runemate for programming new bots and testing them.

Here's a pic of all my hours.

As you can see I only used 32 hours in total, but then it says I already used 146 this month. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks!

Since you live in a shared accomodation, your external/public IP is most likely the same for all network users.

This means if you have another RuneMate user within your network, your hours will combine.

If they use 10 hours and you use 10 hours in one day, you will both show as 20 hours having been used.

The hours tracking system works on IP address used for activity.

I think the hours are "bound" to the IP or something like that. So for example at home if you and someone else like your brother is using Runemate at the same time it will "combine" your hours. I use 5 hours and he uses 5 hours it counts as 10 hours.

Not sure but that what ive heard

As a sidenote since you are a Bot Author you get a complimentary extra 200 hours a month for a total of 400 hours a month. I know it doesn't say so in the table, but you won't be prevented from starting a new instance once you hit 200 like others would.

Okay lets hope their limit is 200 and I don't have any hardcore gold farming neighbors. Thanks for the answers!

Also keep in mind that the plot does not show hours you run bots in SDK mode, but those count towards your total too.
