Hi,
I'm trying to start using `org-habit' but I noticed that hourly repeats
are not properly parsed by `org-habit-duration-to-days', however that's
a valid use case --- e.g. drinking water, medicine schedule,
physiotherapy sessions during the day, periodically practicing a new
language. For example, here's an easy TODO item that reproduces the
problem:
8< -------------------- cut here --------------------
* TODO Foo
SCHEDULED: <2023-01-18 Wed 11:00 .+8h>
:PROPERTIES:
:STYLE: habit
:END:
8< -------------------- cut here --------------------
It appears that a simple solution would be modify
`org-habit-duration-to-days' to accept the `h' suffix and set it to a
fraction of a day, something like:
8< -------------------- cut here --------------------
(defun org-habit-duration-to-days (ts)
(if (string-match "\\([0-9]+\\)\\([hdwmy]\\)" ts)
;; lead time is specified.
(floor (* (string-to-number (match-string 1 ts))
(cdr (assoc (match-string 2 ts)
'(("h" . 0.042) ("d" . 1)
("w" . 7) ("m" . 30.4)
("y" . 365.25))))))
(error "Invalid duration string: %s" ts)))
8< -------------------- cut here --------------------
Would something like this be an acceptable solution?

I afraid that things are not that simple.

That's very interesting, because repeated tasks clearly mention hourly repeats:
https://orgmode.org/manual/Repeated-tasks.html
"You can use yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly repeat cookies by
using the ‘y’, ‘m’, ‘w’, ‘d’ and ‘h’ letters."

Do you mind expanding on this? Just generally curious, really.

Repeated tasks do support hourly repeats. But not habits, as long as
habit-specific logic is concerned.

I tried to list some things in
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87leplsggg.fsf@localhost/
For example, habit consistency graph assumes that habits are repeated
every day or longer.
Generally, adding hourly habits will require careful checking of
org-habit.el code. In addition, org-agenda cannot display repeated tasks
when their repeat interval is less than a day (it is a minor annoyance
though; should not be a blocker)

Thanks for the links and information. It's unfortunate that it's not supported,
but I guess I can live with it, no problem :-)
cheers
