Abstract:

The subject technology receives information related to usage of a set of applications during a first period of time. The subject technology determines a first subset of the set of applications, where each application in the first subset is associated with at least one session having a duration greater than a first threshold amount of time. The subject technology determines a second subset of the set of applications, where each application in the second subset is associated with at least two sessions having an aggregate duration greater than a second threshold amount of time. The subject technology determines a set of values corresponding to respective allocation amounts for the first and second subsets of the set of applications. The subject technology allocates, to each respective developer of each respective application in the first and second subsets of the set of applications.
