I was wondering if it would be allowed to press the "home" button to pause the game and then have all the time the pause screen is on be removed from the final retime. Categories like 100% and Max% require huge time investments and I would love it if you could pause for long periods to take breaks in the middle of a run. I'm not allowed more than 3 hours of screens a day, so it would be awesome if I could pause it for the day and then continue the next.

pausing the timer completely goes against the idea of RTA/Single Segment runs so I and many many others in the general speedrunning scene are against these things; it also leads to unfair advantages if you can just take a "break" mid-run to calm nerves/gain knowledge/etc.
