You seems to confuse things here. My personal time window for the challenges is over 6 hours and begins around the time of raids anyway but besides that.

"Logging in to do automatically repetitive actions that I do everyday because I’m used to it" vs "I actually care about the game and know when certain events etc happen therefore I just delay an action by a few hours to a point where I will be online anyway because I need to do certain officer tasks or scheduled raids"

The first one sounds a bit more like addiction or? If you are stuck in such a hard loop, that you do stuff only because you always did them / don’t even think about it anymore...
