dwell time
How long stayed
Dwell time is how long something stays in one place or state.
In marketing, it measures how long a visitor lingers on a webpage: The article had a dwell time of four minutes.
In manufacturing, it's how long a part remains at a station.
In military contexts, it's the interval between deployments when troops are home.
The term appears wherever duration matters—transit systems, medical devices, industrial processes.
