<br>
One-off measurements are automatically marked "stopped" after 15 minutes <br>
by the system. This is mostly a book-keeping exercise to know what is <br>
active and what is not; it does not affect the flow of results.<br>
<br>

<br>
The intention is to be able to pre-schedule a meeting into the future <br>
(for whatever reason you may have) instead of starting it asap, or to <br>
pre-determine its end if you already know when that should be. I believe <br>
the "start in future" is applicable to one-offs as well, stop time not <br>
so much (see above, they are auto-stopped).<br>

<br>
No, the measurement status is what counts. So such a slot is freed up <br>
after the msm is marked as stopped. We are considering a different <br>
book-keeping mechanism where the amount of results (activity) is used <br>
for quotas instead of number of measurements -- but this is not the case <br>
yet.<br>
<br>
We can adjust these limits, so if you have good reasons to do more (e.g. <br>
measurement campaign, bursts because of some research, etc.) then just <br>
let us know and we can help!<br>
<br>
