Hello! I'm new here and am starting to practice Hollow Knight/maybe submit some runs someday. I do have a question that I don't see on the forums though. Does the run's timer still run when in the pause menu where the game's timer does not run anymore? I've noticed while watching some speed runs of Hollow Knight that the timer stops during some points in which the game's timer does and I wasn't sure to what extent this applied to Hollow Knight specifically. I'm not talking about stopping the timer manually in the pause menu (I understand a manual stop is a penalty no matter what) just asking if this time will be counted upon submission/review when the run's time is made official I guess.

I ask because as the title mentions I'm disabled and my hands don't work very well anymore. During my practice runs my hands go numb fairly quickly and I have to pause the game for a second to get feeling back. I would be happy to submit additional footage of myself playing to prove I'm not submitting clips from multiple runs or anything like that.
