Hi Jeff,
The clocking total for the task on the modeline should reflect how much
time you have clocked since the last time you marked the task DONE.
org-mode records a property LAST_REPEAT which had the time you completed
the task last. The modeline clock value counts minutes since that time.
The modeline should have both your current clocking total time (since
last repeat) and the effort limit displayed (as the limit).
HTH,
Bernt
