How long does one energy last?

The duration of one energy is calculated with the following formula: 1 Energy = 6/Endurance Attribute

How to increase your energy count?

The user has the possibility to increase their energy count in 3 ways: 1. By increasing the number of bees they hold through a tier system, with a maximum of 15 energies tied to the number of bees.\ *(See the Energies/Bee correspondence table below for more details)* 2. By acquiring bees with a higher degree of excellence (Energy bonus), with a maximum of 45 energies.\ *(See the Energies/Degree of Excellence correspondence table below for more details)* 3. Through ApicHolder status, which offers a progressive bonus of 1 to 5 energies depending on the number of larvae in incubation, allowing a maximum of 50 energies to be reached

Energy ceiling

The maximum amount of energy is capped at 50. {% hint style="success" %} This ceiling will evolve regularly as Hivings take place. {% endhint %}

*** ### ***Increase/Reduce the duration of an energy***

Endurance coefficient

A bee's endurance attribute is a coefficient between 0.40 and 2 and directly impacts the duration of an energy. 1 Energy = Base duration/Endurance coefficient **Examples:**\ • With an endurance coefficient of 0.80, one energy lasts: 6/0.8 = 7 minutes and 30 seconds\ • With an endurance coefficient of 1.5, one energy lasts: 6/1.5 = 4 minutes The endurance attribute is capped at 4, allowing you to divide the duration of an energy by 4! *Warning: the endurance coefficient of a young bee is 1 (level 0 to 7), the final endurance coefficient of your bee is revealed at level 8.*

Team synergy

The user has 2 [Team Synergies](/whitepaper/move-to-earn/team-system/synergies.md) allowing them to benefit from a boost to the endurance attribute. They can therefore boost their endurance attribute to 1.8 or 2 depending on the strategy employed.

*** ### ***Spending your energy, or not***

What consumes energy?

Two things, and two only: 1. **A run**, minute by minute. One energy covers 6 minutes of running with an endurance coefficient of 1, and less time as that coefficient rises. 2. **Passive Mode**, which burns your tank in exchange for your rewards. The rest of the game (marketplace, mining, incubation, transfers) never touches your energy. {% hint style="info" %} **No energy spent, no reward.** This is the rule that explains everything below: a run's earnings are computed from the energy it consumes. {% endhint %}

Choosing what is left when your run ends

By tapping your energy bar outside a run, you set a **floor** that the run is not allowed to dig into: * **NOTHING**: nothing preserved, the run may spend everything. * **A THIRD**: one third of your base tank stays full. * **TWO THIRDS**: two thirds stay full. Once the floor is reached, the run goes on and your kilometres keep being recorded, but **nothing is debited any more, so nothing is paid any more**. A white marker on the gauge shows you where the limit sits. {% hint style="info" %} The threshold only applies to **your next run**. Reached or not, it drops at the end of the run. {% endhint %}

The Leisure Run: running with no energy and no reward

The **third START button** on the home screen, the blue one, starts a run that **consumes no energy** and **earns no reward**. A window titled **LEISURE RUN** reminds you at every start. This is the running app without the game: you set off whenever you want, tank full or empty, without committing a single bee. Your tank is untouched when you get back, and your bees have not aged. {% hint style="warning" %} A Leisure Run earns no $CATKN, no $HELT, no $SOL, no Pollen and no Nectar. This is not a bug: it is the price of the energy you keep. {% endhint %}

*** ***What counts, and what does not*** The weekly progress of 5, 25 and 50 km follows **two tracks**: a common track that pays Pollen to everyone, and a Season Pass track that pays its holders an extra reward. A Leisure Run feeds the second one, not the first.

What if I run on an empty tank?

That is not the same thing as a Leisure Run. A **game run** started without energy counts **everywhere**, weekly progress included: it simply does not pay, for lack of energy to spend. That is the run of someone who has burned everything and goes out anyway. A **Leisure Run** is a choice: it protects your tank, and in exchange it gives up the common track of the weekly progress.
