Does the hour meter transaction group still capture accurately with timer set for 1 hour?

I have retentive checked, but all my hour meters reset to 0 when I reset the Boolean to 0.

I have a boolean for running.
It sets the hour meter tags for the the machine.
However, it was 7 earlier and now it is only 1, so it reset.

I have a script that sets the booelean to 0 at the end of shifts.
However, my meter is never supposed to reset.


Well the reset happened 30 minutes ago for running booleans.
They toggle on and off all the time.
I did just add a machine to the transaction group today though. So maybe when I added that, the meters reset?
Do hour meters reset if the gateway goes down?

Testing, setting one to 10.

Moments later it broke.

Oh no, this hour meter is useless?

I need an accurate hour meter from the gateway, not the plc.
I am going to use event scripting till I learn a better way.
