Since there is a speedrun mode that tracks the time, is it allowed to make breaks in between? (toilet or drink)
Without it counting to the official speedrun time?
We can take breaks in a lot of situations, so if a cutscene is between those situations, like a cutscene between 2 Sarah rides flashbacks, we can overlook it if you just go somewhere and didn't skip it.
BUT, we can't abuse it, otherwise we'll be having a 12 hours RTA for a 6-7 hours IGT Speedrun. haha

I will try to conjure up a decent ruleset for the breaks in the Speedrun In Game Time category as the idea is to make it so that this version is the most friendly for any% practice.
In general, feel free to take a breaks during cutscenes as it really is a long game.
Google Tradutor:
Temporizador do jogo - Modo Speedrun
O temporizador do Speedrun exclui os tempos das cutscenes
Exemplos:
Primeiro passeio de moto durante o flashback após receber o rádio Nero do Newt. Tudo bem, incluindo as cutscenes.
Durante a colheita de lavanda - você ainda precisa interagir com o jogo, então não.
Depois da luta contra Carlos, ande de moto com Sarah - Tudo bem, incluindo as cutscenes.
Depois de Kouri, Flashback, você precisa andar com Sarah, então não é bom.
Dirigindo para Cloverdale: Tudo bem
Categorias em Tempo Real - Como Morte Permanente
Cutscenes contam para o tempo de speedrun, então você só pode fazer pausas durante os autodrives, mas precisa estar preparado para pular cutscenes.
English:
In game timer - Speedrun mode
Speedrun timer excludes the cutscenes times
Examples:
First Bike ride during flashback after getting nero radio from newt. All good, that includes cutscenes.
During picking lavender - you still need to interact with the game, so no.
After Carlos fight bike ride with sarah - All good, that includes cutscenes.
After Kouri, Flashback you need to walk with sarah, so no good.
Drive to Cloverdale: All good
Real Time Categories - Like Permadeath
Cutscenes count into the speedrun time, so you can only take breaks during the autodrives, but you have to be ready to skip cutscenes.
We have added two designated break spots for those who want for the SPEEDRUN MODE Any% category.
After Lost Lake category end, Allowed break spot 10 minutes Real Time. During the complete screen of mission We've all done things. - Run will resume once player completes this mission finish popup.
After Carlos Fight, Starting from the cutscene before autoscroller "I was distracted". Till the end of the last cutscene of that section. (Allowed for maximum 10 minutes Real Time) - Run will resume once player completes this mission finish popup.
