I was wondering if anyone knew a way to track time in onshape, I have spent probably weeks on onshape by hours, is there a way to find my total hours on onshape?
CAD systems aren’t too great about this. If you’re on a personal machine, and have some sort of game installation management service (ex: Steam), perhaps trying to add the launcher for your CAD software to that, and launch it through Steam to see if it will track your time like it does for other games. Because Onshape is web based, you may even look into installing a web browser just for CAD, and then using the steam work around on the web browser.
Should be stated, I’ve never tried this, but it’s the first thing I’d try if you didn’t want to use some external and manual timing system like Clockify.
From what I remember, OnShape has a time tracker/analytics but it’s only available if you have the Enterprise Version. Here’s another solution you could try using if something else doesn’t work:

I did a trail version of Onshape’s Education Enterprise account a few years ago. That allowed me to track my student’s hours, what they were working on, version history, etc. So the capability is there but I do believe it is only through the enterprise account.
They track time, but my license doesn’t allow me to see it. I got an entire presentation/meeting made because I was spending so much time in it, they said something 200+ over like a few weeks on a free license.
I use an extension that can track your time on any website. you could use that (may or may not have spent over a day and a half on cd sense I’ve installed this in april lol)
Web Activity Time Tracker - Web Analytics - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

I’m not sure if I want to know this number.

Steam doesn’t track non steam games. Just checked my Solidworks playtime and it doesn’t exist.
If you can somehow launch Solidworks from a third party minecraft launcher a lot of those track playtime for a specific instance.
I need to track my solidworks playtime though, i want to know just how much time I spend staring at a bunch of boxes superimposed on a stl model of an ultrasound probe

In theory you might be able to write a script that goes through all of your documents and looks at the time inbetween edits and adds up the deltas. Then just pause whenever there is a long period of time in between two edits.
There is a way to find out through onshape 
I have 1450 hours in onshape.
