Starting in v2.7.3, PowerfulWizard can stop automation automatically after a run time you choose. The UI is simple: you set a number, pick seconds, minutes, or hours, and optional limits appear on the Auto Clicker tab, Recording playback, and in Sequences (beside loop settings). While automation runs, the main stats area shows time remaining until auto-stop.
Why bother with a run time limit?
Walk away without “forever” clicks: You can step away for a meeting, dinner, or sleep knowing the app will stop on its own instead of clicking until you come back.
Sets a hard ceiling: Even if you forget to press stop—or the window is behind something else—automation ends after the time you configured.
Match real sessions: Useful when you only want about 30 minutes of idle grinding, one hour of alching, or a short recording test—not an open-ended run.
Less waste if you get distracted: Stops unnecessary input and CPU use if you leave the PC without meaning to leave automation on all day.
Easier to reason about behavior: “Run for 15 minutes” is clearer for testing setups than “run until I remember to stop.”
Works everywhere: Same idea for simple clicking, recorded playback, and multi-step sequences—so you don’t need different habits per mode.
You can still stop anytime with your stop hotkey or the on-screen controls; the limit is an extra safety net, not a replacement for manual stop.
How to use it (quick)
The controls are intentionally basic:
Auto Clicker tab: Find the run-time / auto-stop options near your interval and start controls. Enter a value, choose the unit (seconds, minutes, hours), and enable the limit if it’s optional.
Recording tab: Set the same style of limit for playback so a recorded macro doesn’t loop forever unless you want it to.
Sequences: Open the Sequence Configurator; the run-time limit sits next to loop options so you can cap how long the whole sequence runs.
While running, watch the time remaining in the main stats area—it counts down to auto-stop. If you don’t need a limit, leave it off and behavior stays like older versions.
