getActivityByInterval returns all 0 values for timeSpentInSeconds

Question

Looking to fetch Activity data for a few dozen SharePoint sites through the Graph API and hitting a bit of a snag. The response I always get to a simple "" call seems to have the "timeSpentinSeconds" values (even though these aren't mentioned in the documentation). I'd need the data broken down by the hourly level, rather than using the "analytics" endpoint, which gives you a choice of Last7Days / AllTime. Any ideas why this is happening?

Sample response received:

Hi @Ivo Angelov,

Currently Graph doesn't support to get the Activity data by hourly level. The api only get the day level data. I feel regretful to inform you that it turns out to be a by-design one.

It is highly recommended that you can vote this ticket. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Thanks for your understanding.

Even with interval set to 'day', timeSpentInSeconds is retruning 0 value
