Yeah @bengy, that is one thing I am VERY thankful they did at the beginning. Too many of these type of projects or miners are all or nothing. This allows me to set my limits during the day while working or playing and crank to 100% on a night and let it power through.
I've also made the suggestion to the team to add in a secondary CPU option tied to the "Pause when activity is detected" option that would allow you set to max cpu % there as well. So instead of pausing completely you could set it to 25% or 50% or in my case 75%, this would allow it to keep working even while playing.
Hopefully they take that suggestion into consideration.
