Pretty simple: 6 minutes is the minimum default for time tracking in my realm, per contract. Clients don't want multiple entries for 30 seconds or 2 minutes here and there - instead, we report in 10th's of an hour.

I quite often fix bugs in 2 or 3 minutes, or even less - on separate tasks/projects.

However the minimum time allotment for these things (billing) is 6 minutes. All time tracking (per contract) is rounded up to the next 6-minute (1/10th of an hour) interval.

The majority of the bugs I've been resolving take from 30min to a few hours (if I know the codebase) - but they are usually complex distributed systems issues.

What kind of bugs are those that could be fixed in 2 minutes?

[fit2rule]

All kinds of things. Mis-configured project defaults, typo's, additional formatting/UI tweaking, really a lot of productive things can be done in less than 6 minutes.

Different strokes for different folks - just because you don't work that way, shouldn't preclude thinking about folks who do. The world is a big use case.
