Auto

To start an AUTO session, you can toggle on the AUTO Switch in the bottom-left area of the UI Window, set the Auto Settings, and then click the ACCEPT Button.

URL Incrementer Reminder: if you want to decrement a URL in AUTO Mode, you will want to set the interval to -1.

Auto Settings

Times
Times is the number of times you want to perform the action. In the case of URL Incrementer, this means the number of times you want to perform an action like incrmenting the URL.

Seconds
Seconds refers to how long it will wait on the page before performing the action again. You usually want to increase the seconds in order to not overburden a website's server. Setting the seconds to somewhere around 5 is a good starting point for most websites to avoid getting IP banned.

Slideshow
You can also enable the Auto Slideshow checkbox to have it repeat the Auto session when times reaches 0 and start over again continually.

Show Times Left
If Show times left is checked, the toolbar icon badge will show you the Times remaining; otherwise it will just display AUTO.

Show Button
If you want to have an Auto Pause/Resume Button appear on the page, check this option.

Unlocked Auto Settings
It's possible to set the Times to a higher value than the maximum or the Seconds to a lower value than the minimum, but you must have Special Mode enabled (Heart Button).

Pausing/Resuming Auto

You can pause or resume Auto in a variety of ways:

1. Click the orange pause/play button in the UI Window
2. Click the orange pause/play button on the web page itself (if the option is set)
3. Enter the Pause Auto Shortcut command (if set)
4. Select the Pause Auto context menu item (if enabled)

Stopping Auto

You can stop Auto by:

1. Clicking the Clear Button in the UI Window
2. Toggle the AUTO Switch off and click ACCEPT Button again in the UI Window
3. Enter the Clear Shortcut command (if set)
4. Select the Clear context menu item (if enabled)

Saving Auto Settings

The Auto settings you set (for example, the AUTO Switch itself being on and Times and Seconds values) will be saved and will be set up again for you the next time you open the UI Window. However, for your protection, the app will never auto-activate with AUTO turned on by default the next time you visit a URL; you must manually open the UI Window and click the ACCEPT Button to re-enable AUTO.

Auto Tab Inactivity

Recent versions of Chromium browsers (Chrome and Edge) and Firefox have started to require that the tab be focused for chained timers to continue to work in the background as scheduled. Basically, after only 1 minute after the tab has lost focus, the Auto timer will now be throttled and only run once per minute until you bring the tab back in focus. This "tab inactivity grace period" has existed for a while, but only used to be 5 minutes in prior versions. If you wish to prevent this from happening, it's recommended to try opening another window with the tab focused and in view while you browse in the other window.

Chromium Version	Tab Inactivity Grace Period
1 - 87	Unlimited
88 - 110	5 minutes, then only runs every 1 minute after
111+	1 minute, then only runs every 1 minute after
