I have been going strong for 34 days and 5 hours.

You can check by running inxi in the command line or checking the CPU in Mission Center

        There is no benefit in letting your PC run for days, its just waste of energy and bad behaviour.

          When you hibernate, “uptime” counts it even though the computer is off, as it’s more of a “time since cold boot”.

          So I turn off my computer every day, but have an uptime of weeks now.

              I’m just explaining how people end up with high uptimes despite not keeping their computer on all the time. There is no purpose to “padding your uptime”.

      At the lower end, it’s a pretty rocky line. It’s easy to image a person who games during the day and torrents at night on the same machine. Or runs a plex server but only when they want to watch something while they sleep.

        A server needs to be available, a PC doesn’t. As long as your PC is not serving something 24/7.
