Log time on card

Log the 2.5 hours I just worked on this card and attach a short note: what I did (fixed API pagination), when I started and stopped, and the branch name. Make sure the total time on the card updates and that the project manager gets a notification.

Before I send time reports, make the card's time log clear: surface the new 2.5‑hour entry at the top of the card activity, include a one‑sentence description specifying the work and branch, and show the running total. Flag any gaps in time logging this week that a reviewer would question.

I saved a 2.5‑hour entry on the card and the running total still shows zero. I can't tell whether my entry failed or if someone else removed it. What are the most likely causes and the immediate steps I should take to ensure the PM sees the correct hours by end of day?

Our team repeatedly forgets to log time on cards and the PM spends hours reconciling estimates versus actuals. Where are we losing discipline, and what single change to our workflow or habit (not a new tool) will get accurate time logs for 90% of cards within three weeks?
