Yes, Mixpanel provides several ways to capture and analyze duration data in your reports: 1. Automatic Duration Property: When you use timing events in Mixpanel, a $duration property is automatically appended to your events to capture the elapsed time in seconds between a timeEvent call and a subsequent track call. This is available across all SDKs (JavaScript, Android, iOS, Unity, etc.) Default Properties.2. Session Duration: For session analysis, Mixpanel automatically creates a "Session Duration (Seconds)" property ($duration_s) which measures the time between Session Start and Session End events Reserved Properties.3. Manual Timing Implementation: You can implement timing in your tracking code using the SDK-specific methods: - JavaScript: mixpanel.time_event() and then mixpanel.track() - iOS (Swift): Mixpanel.mainInstance().time(event:) and then Mixpanel.mainInstance().track(event:) - Android: mixpanel.timeEvent() and then mixpanel.track() - React Native: mixpanel.timeEvent() and then mixpanel.track() - Flutter: mixpanel.timeEvent() and then mixpanel.track() - Unity: Mixpanel.StartTimedEvent() and then Mixpanel.Track()For example, in Swift: ```// start the timer for the event "Image Upload" Mixpanel.mainInstance().time(event: "Image Upload")

// 20 seconds later...

// track "Image Upload" event with "Duration" event prop set to 20 Mixpanel.mainInstance().track(event: "Image Upload")```You can then use this duration data in various reports like Insights to analyze metrics such as average session length per user or session duration broken down across users Session Controls in Reports.
