If you use scripts, you can install the Wanikani Heatmap script which shows you your total time studied in the lower right corner.

[Userscript] Wanikani Heatmap

This is a third-party script/app and is not created by the WaniKani team. By using this, you understand that it can stop working at any time or be discontinued indefinitely. What is Wanikani Heatmap This script adds a so called heatmap to your dashboard, which displays how many reviews and lessons you did on each day. The reviews heatmap additionally features a forecast for upcoming reviews. Along with the heat maps you also get a number of interesting stats, such as how many days …

I’d be interested in seeing how the time spent is calculated.
According to WK Heatmap I’ve spent 1021 hours.
According to WK History I’ve spent 394 hours.

There is also the WK history website, where you can see a large variety of data, including your total time spend doing reviews.

I can’t speak for heatmap, but in WK History it’s calculated by looking at the time between consecutive reviews and summing those while excluding the ones where the time is larger than a given threshold. In WK History you can choose that threshold (30s, 1m (default I think), 2m, …).

The problem is that the reviews were only starting to be logged maybe around 2018 (not that sure). Maybe the heatmap script projects your time spent to before but I haven’t implemented such a thing in WK History yet. Maybe I should do that though So the time shown there is just the time spent since some time around 2018.

Same for the Heatmap, though the default value for the Heatmap is 10 minutes. You can change this value in the general tab of the settings.

I believe it’s July 2017? I forget, but I was around when it happened I don’t do any projection, though
