EXP is not going up even after 8 HRS???

I started out with 5 XP . . . been doing this for 8 hours now . . . I haven't gained any EXP at all.
Are we supposed to be doing something different to gain EXP?

Mine hasn't gone up either, about the same amount of time has lapsed .. 9 hours

the new rate is much lower than it was. it is working though i thought the same thing at 1st

My appologies to everyone. Yes it is much slower gaining XP by just wearing the HUD as there will be more tasks and targets coming soon.  That said, I really messed up the way the 'metabolic rate' (hunger, thirst, points etc) after asking Chat GPT for some advice so the timing is way off, sorry!  I've gone back to working things out myself for the code so will hopefully have it doing more sensible things soon.

Thank You Buzzy . . . I got 1 more point after a few more hours passed added to the 8 hours.

I've had the new hud, 6.03, for over 7 hours now and no points as yet.  I've been eating, drinking, going to the loo, etc etc and working the farm.  Just wondering .. how long should we expect to start gaining points?
