Changing settings during attempt and bathroom breaks?

I'm entirely new to speedrunning so I wanted to know how changing settings such as sensitivity and bathroom breaks would affect the time on my run. Also, are awareness indicators set on always allowed in restricted runs?(Ellie%, very light, ng, glitchless, restricted) Thanks!

Generally yes, you can change settings during attempts as long as they don't invalidate the run, (Changing Grounded to easy, turn on accessibilities during a restricted run etc.) Bathroom breaks COULD invalidate your run if the break is long enough. It is recommended that you go before or you go reeealll quick. Awareness indicators are allowed, and to know which accessibilities are allowed make sure to look at the 'View Game Rules' tab where we outline what is and isn't allowed for every category. Hope this helps!

Typically if your break is longer than 3-5 minutes, it could invalidate your run
