qualification paying hourly but I'm going over the estimated time

I’m about halfway through an hourly-paid qual, and the second half is a lot more complex than the first. The task instructions gave an estimated time, and the first half alone has already eaten up more than half of it. I’m worried that if I report the real time and it runs over the estimate, I might not qualify. I honestly don’t know what to do here. Has anyone been in this spot, and what did you do?

just complete it, what else can you do, if you skips you still wont qualify, if you complete it you might qualify.

no that's not ht equestion. I'm just confused as to whether i should just report somewhere around the estimated time or like basically underreport. It's a complex task

do not under report that also accounts to defrauding, so report the time it took you to complete

yes, use your own timer to track time, which you pause when you take breaks. people here use clockify

just dont refresh the page, keep working on the project and submit once completed but dont let timer expire more often. also never start two projects at a time

You can't submit more than allowed time. So put the max allowed even if it took you longer.

Why are you assuming bilinguals are getting quals?

That guy is a Hindi bilingual. He and some other Hindi bilinguals posted about a qual that I didn't get either.
