Where reading reminders are available, choose a global interval and inspect foreground reading, pauses and continuation without confusing the feature with a system timer.

If your version offers reading-break reminders, inspect their scope, timing conditions and continuation controls. This guide verifies application behaviour rather than prescribing a health interval. An in-reader reminder and a system alarm serve different purposes, so interruption behaviour needs direct observation.

## Check whether the reminder exists

Inspect the current reader settings and initial reminder state. If absent, retain your existing external reminder approach. Treat an all-comics description as global scope, not a book override. Record version and original state. Example intervals demonstrate controls rather than prescribe a personal schedule.

## Choose an offered interval

Select an actual offered interval and verify that it persists after reopening settings. Do not assume arbitrary input or multiple reminders. Handle a visible save failure and confirm again. Check off/cancel behaviour separately so timing observations are not confused with an unsaved preference.

## Observe with stable foreground content

Use a complete local chapter and note when readable content opens. Observe ordinary foreground reading through the selected interval if you choose to test it fully. Do not count loading/errors as established active reading or call a switch-state check a completed timing test. Mark unperformed waits honestly.

## Record menu and app interruptions separately

Test one interruption type at a time: menu, another app or shelf. Wall-clock elapsed time may differ from qualifying reading time. Record the observed behaviour instead of generalising one overlay’s result to every pause condition. Avoid repeatedly changing intervals during timing comparisons.

## Choose the next action explicitly

When prompted, note the scene and choose the available continue or turn-off action. Observe whether another interval begins rather than assuming overlapping repeated prompts. You may leave reading instead. Verify off state in settings. A reminder does not prove chapter completion or understanding; it offers a choice.

## Check the all-comics scope

Open another comic to inspect the described global preference. Separate the interval setting from a running session or remaining time, including across devices. Follow existing sync and record observed values rather than assuming identical timers. Investigate differences locally without rebuilding accounts or libraries.

## Investigate a missing reminder by conditions

Check saved enablement, readable foreground content, interruptions and interval changes. Distinguish an on-screen prompt from sound or a background notification. Repeat under comparable conditions and mark incomplete waits. A reminder issue is not evidence of damaged comics and does not call for clearing history.

## Acceptance and limits

Finish with a persistent interval, understood scope, usable prompt actions and honest test records. No reading-quality or health outcome is established. Use a separately chosen system timer if fixed wall-clock timing is required. Keep rollback values and end reading whenever you choose rather than extending it for a statistic.
