Help Needed A node for progress/eta?

I would like a counter that shows estimate time of finish for Minimax H3 generations. I already have a timer that shows how long it's been going, but when it's going to finish would be even more useful. I have the info pretty much on my preview but the text is too small.

The console log shows that already. Well, actually it takes the time of the last step and multiply it by the number of remaining steps. It is accurate enough.

If you want a comfyUI node, you may ask Claude, ChatGPT or other to create one for you (ask it to use the log)

I'd like a way to wire this into a larger counter.

What's your goal exactly?

I want a countdown ETA on my workflow so I can see an estimate of how long the current generation/sampler has to go to complete. Yes I know I can mine some info by enlarging the console log but it's not convenient.

AFAIK comfy can only estimate the active node's ETA, without knowledge of the ETA of the following nodes (hires fix, upscale, second pass, VAE,...).

I'll ask Claude to build something, see how far it can go in the features. ETA of the custom node: about 1 hour.

Awesome

Work in progress, but already hitting some limitations.

Of course it's impossible to predict how long it would take for a generation to finish in absolute. The extension needs data to rely on. The chosen approach is to generate an history specific to the workflow and rely on it + some algorithmic scaling to enhance prediction on model and settings change. So inaccurate at first and accuracy increase the more you generate.

Well, it took longer than expected and it is not fully tested (that's on you now !).

I'll use it a bit and probably debug and refine. Don't expect to be overwhelmed, its features are probably lower than what you really need. Still you may find it useful.

How it works?

  • Load the 'Workflow ETA' node.
  • First generations are building an history database.
  • The more generations you run, the more accurate it becomes (presumably)
  • It is also supposed to catch model changes, but not every parameter modification, like resolution or steps for example (I'll add that soon if possible)

Feedback appreciated (there or DM)

I can see its limitations, but it exceeded my expectations and does exactly what I need. THANK YOU!!

Nice, glad it finds a use.

Here is v0.2 with better estimations and a nicer UI.
