    Hey, I am beginning to experience with MLAgents, and I am trying to do something where if the Agent don't reach a target in an amount of time (countdown timer), I call EndEpisode() and give a negative reward.

    I saw this https://forum.unity.com/threads/tim...r-update-in-order-to-get-stable-timer.920456/

    But even while doing it in FixedUpdate and with a --time-scale=1 I can see that my timer isn't stable, and even the whole game is going faster than at the same scale without MLAgents?

    Time.fixedDeltaTime for FixedUpdate, it records how long since the last FixedUpdate was called and should return the same time if the game loop is able to run optimally, I can't see why you would have any issues adding a timer with it - how are you coding your timer?
