  I believe this add-on may be completely bugged or out of date. Time estimation continues to rise constantly as you render out your animation and does not match up with my calculation whatsoever (calculating that a 10-hour render will take 20+ days and so on.)

  I'm using Blender 4.0.2 with the Cycles render engine and the "rendertime.py" file if that helps with troubleshooting at all. I don't mean to rate this so harshly, but since this is a paid add-on, I feel that I should have this up.

  Dear Tucker, thank you for your feedback. We did not test the addon with version 4.0.2 yet. In the addon details we specified that the highest compatible version is 3.6. It may be high time to verify and update it, till then please consider using blender 3.6. zym

  Hmm... wanted to love it. I'm new to Blender (coming from C4D), but had many successes with add ons and extensions - except this one. Says it's for 5.1. But then it gives you a tonne of random files oddly named to download. Some are zipped... super random. I go to install the 42 version? It's the 'latest' one. (I guess?) Doesn't work. I install the one with no version. Same thing. Only instructions say to install your version - but there's no 51. If dude would just make it clear. Not sure what 293, 292 and the zips are... Probably just my newness. But the other add-ons have all been seamless. So... I'd have to say wait on this one if you're new.

  Dear Jayse, sorry for the confusion, most probably our English is not that good yet as the addon itself. We tried to write in the documentation:
  "Download the latest .py file. (The file without version number is the latest, use that. The files with version numbers are for the marked version of Blender)" - We meant that the latest version is the one without any version number, just the bare rednertime.py. Use that file for the latest version of Blender. If you want to use an older Blender, you can match the version of the file with the Blender version.
  Also you can download the same name without version number ZIP file. Some people's browser wanted to show the code, to avoid this we added the ZIP file as well. If you use the ZIP version you have to unzip the addon (rendertime.py) and save it to somewhere on your computer.
  This was also mentioned in the documentation (with the same level of English, might not be the best one :).
  "If you download the rendertime.zip file then you have to unzip the addon to a folder and use it from that folder."
  I strongly suggest to use the latest version (without version number, just the bare file) with the latest Blender and enjoy the splendid hints and features of the addon.
  If you have questions just let us know.
  Have a great day and happy blending!
