NuvolOps way of computing crew member’s rest is changing in April 2023 from Actual Rest to Possible Rest.
NuvolOps has introduced the opportunity to select how the Rest is computed for each operator’s crew members: Possible Rest or Actual Rest.
The type of rest will affect everywhere the crew rest is considered:
Crew Board
Staff Center - Stats page
FTL Report
Possible Rest
...
(by default)
It uses all rest events + empty space to compute how many days off a crew member has had. Therefore, it doesn't rely on the creation of days off events (less complexity of the system → fewer places where things can go wrong).
Since April 2023, this is also used in the Staff Center in both the Stats page and FTL Report.
Actual Rest
This is what has been used in the past in the Staff Center, both in the Stats section and the FTL Report. Actual rest used uses only rest events (days off, vacation, etc.) to get the total number of days off a crew has had.
This relies heavily on the automatic creation of Days Off events.

Comparison between Possible Rest and Actual Rest

Similarly, the cumulative rest in the FTL Report is also impacted by this change.

Automatic Days Off
Even though days off events are no longer needed, we will continue creating automatic Days Off events in the past to have a smoother transition.
