That is the sort of thing I would like clarified rather than guessing. What is the behaviour, in order to be able to use it without a paused run being terminated as a surprise?
As a result of the lack of clarity I merely have a third 47 Survival run, and I could have definitely improved on that.
Sounds like a good feature. Hopefully, the staff could clarify this function.
I was pleased to find after I spent the best part of an hour doing Puzzle Rush Survival but didn't have any more time that when I returned the next day, a resume button appeared! So I continued carefully doing puzzles which eventually took several minutes each for me. I reached an equal best score with 47 right and just the final one wrong after resumption. I like the "resume" feature a lot. To beat my best Puzzle Rush survival score, I need well over an hour of solving, so it is good to be able to break the time up.
Unfortunately, when I went back again today, the resume button didn't appear. The run is recorded in the Puzzle Rush stats with just the one life lost at the end. I am rather sure I did not choose to quit, and I was intending trying to get some more right before I lost the remaining two lives (it had reached a similar level to my general tactics rating).
Could someone clarify what would cause this? I am not aware of any documentation for the feature. I suspect it might be because of a routine clean of my browser or something (I don't think I deleted cookies, but I am not sure).
While it is a shame this run was wasted, I would like to avoid the same happening again, so I need to know what causes what happened and what the general behaviour is intended to be.
great job on 47!
my record was 48 and now 50 something. (survival )

Really well done. You should be able to improve some of your other ratings!
Dont really play much live, just do daily and OTB, my USCF is around 1370-1420.
That's less than ideal. The version where it was possible to do sessions on more than one day was better. It's now limited (for me) mainly by the limited free time available in any day rather than by being able to solve the problems.
Is the intention that the best scores be more affected by how much time people can find in a day than by what puzzles people can solve with low error rate?
It's worth bearing in mind that even with a standard time control of say 3 minutes a move, a long puzzle rush survival run amounts to hours, which is a difficult amount of time to find in any day. Traditionally hard chess puzzles are solved in many minutes, rather than less than a minute. In a standard tournament game, it is perfectly normal to spend 20 minutes + on a hard move.

If you apply the calculation skills needed to do that sort of puzzle rush survival run, you should be able to improve standard time control (maybe even rapid) and daily chess (adding effective use of an analysis board in the latter).
So, how much is the timer for puzzle rush survival? I have been more than 3 days sometimes. 7 days?
I also got 47 in my most recent (unfinished) Puzzle Rush survival but I am afraid of losing my progress. How long is the timer for Puzzle Rush survival?
