I don't know if it's just me but sometime I feel uncertain about how long it takes until it finishes my 15 minutes block so I can have enough points to enter the giveaway I really want before going to bed.
It's good to know if I have to wait 14 more minutes or just 30 seconds.
I'm thinking of a progress bar for whenever my points (or every others') is under 400. That'd be super helpful.

it's every 12:00, 12:15,12:30, 12:45 etc etc etc. just watch at your windows clock.

I don't thinks it's fixed time like that, 15 minutes start whenever your point is under 400. I did observer and it's not at fixed quarter as you said. Maybe we should double-check that :D

It is fixed. I can attest to that. I regularly calculate my entries according to this (eg.: I want to enter a GA that is 10p, but I only have 5 left, as soon as the clock hits either 00,15,30,45, I refresh and the points are there already) and for three years now, it never once disappointed.

How do you believe that is a constructive and relevant comment?

ESGST has "Points Visualizer" and "Time To Point Cap Calculator", not quite what you are asking but close.

Don't forget you can exit from giveaways that you have entered that are not ending soon to regain points so that you can enter more 'urgent' ones.

+1 to all of that. Sometimes ESGST tells me that it will take, let's say, 1.1h to get points for a GA ending in 30 minutes. This is usually my trigger to go back and leave some GA's that won't end until a week or so.

I usually pair this functionality with my "Snooze Tab" extension - if ESGST tells me it will take 45 min until I have enough points to join a GA, I just "snooze" that tab for 45 minutes and when it wakes up, I can join immediately

Thanks for recommendation. I should give that a try.
Still hard-headed me wants that progress bar without any add-on lol
They already programmed the algorithm, they just need to "show" it to the world =))
But yeah, either way helps ♥

If you lower your entries only on games you know you will really play and enjoy, you will find out 400P enough for whole day.

During big sales it's not enough.

Well, I enter on average 16 giveaways per day. And I really plan to play all these games.
