This is generally a tricky thing to calculate accurately.
First off, we do not give an estimate of this ourselves. Since the access token verification happens in a stateless manner and the core doesn't know about them.

04/25/2022, 1:15 PMTo calculate this accurately, you will want to:
- log successful session verifications that happen in your APIs. In the log, you want to include the user ID and the timestamp. These logs should be saved in a db.
- Then, you can run a job which will "club" logs that are within a certain time frame of each other. For example, club all logs that are within 10 mins of each other.
- Then you will have a list of these sets and you can calculate the duration of these sets by taking the timestamp of the max log - time of the min log.
- Then you would sum all these set's times and you would have an estimate of how much time the user has spent on the app.

Why not use an analytics tool (eg: Amplitude, Google analytics) that would provide this information?
