How to calculate token current %staytime in activity

Is it possible to get the % of a token´s staytime in a delay activity? On entry the token is given a specific "Entry Time" and "Exit Time", so it should be possible, right?

I need to detect when a token in given Delay activity reach a certain % of its staytime. How can I do this?

Hi @Magnus C,

I'm not sure of a straightforward way to do this, but maybe someone else has input.

Do you know the delay time for each of the tokens? Or are they randomly distributed? I was able to access the delay time through the tree, but I can't figure out a way to access it through an Assign Labels activity in Process Flow. (see attached model)

If you could figure out how to access this in a label, you could add it to the current model time and then calculate the time at which the staytime will be a certain % complete. Hope this helps.
