Time Slots: Show total tasks time in slots

As a feature, can we see how much of a time block has been filled up as we add tasks to it.

I came to this board specifically to find this feature request (assuming it already existed) and +1 it.
I love the time block feature. It works with the way my brain works. However, It's way too easy to have a 2 hour time block that I've put 4 hours worth of tasks inside.
What if the task block changed colors or popped up a warning when it's over-filled?
I'd also love if it could auto-suggest tasks that can put inside based on project, priority, and allotted time.

Judi: That sounds fantastic! We’ll share these details with our team as they work on enhancing the timeslot feature.

+1 on this. My thought was a percentage indicator on bottom right that shows, for instance, 50% if 2x 15min tasks are in a 60min stack / time slot.

Hi Justin: That sounds incredibly good! We'll pass this details to our team for additional info once they're putting efforts on improving the timeslot feature.

This would be super helpful. Also, the option to have an alert if I've over-allocated tasks to a slot (i.e. total duration of the tasks I've added to the slot exceeds the slot length)

Allannah Jackson: Thank you for your feedback! We'll pass this along to the team for consideration as we continue to refine and improve Akiflow.

Alternative idea as well: sometimes i create slot for an hour and work on tasks and don't estimate them prior. After i've done work, there could be 3 or 5 or even 10 tasks. I would like a button to divide this hour between tasks, or maybe mark whole slot as "spent on project". Otherwise statistics is not perfect (slot for hour can contain 2 hours of work etc).

Vladislav: Thanks for this! Just a QQ, do you mean to evenly divide the time slot duration to the completed tasks within the slot? The idea isn't clear for me, sorry!

Vladislav
Jeson P yes, exactly.

Vladislav: Got it! Thank you for confirming! :)

A percentage might also be cool. You could then see if you're overallocated.

+1 seeing how much time left in a slot, and some visual alert if you're exceeding it!
In fact, it's a bit of a pain to organize tasks within slots today...
It'd be awesome to have the option to open up a view of the slot where you can see "the inside" as a calendar and drag&drop your tasks, resize them, etc, inside the slot.
Once you go back to the normal calendar view, the slot shows as a single block again.
This view could replace (or complement) the "Pinned" view, which is not that useful now, since it's just a list of tasks, so making adjustments to order and duration is not as easy as in a calendar view. Also note that many times all tasks in a slot belong to the same project, so you most likely can find the same tasks listed in the project page anyway...

Miguel RS: Thank you for this!

Yes please, otherwise I have to do mental math to find out if and how long tasks I can still add to the slot.
The slot could show a filled/available capacity bar like so. And free time potentially. Or like 20m/1h 15m.
