Looking at my time on a relatively long segment today (north bank of Loch Affric) wondering if I would have got KOM* if I hadn't stopped to fix my crappy French plastic pedals (Time ATACs, the love affair is over ☹).
I noticed that Strava doesn't appear to show the ten minutes I spent trying to fix the pedals with a big rock, is that because my Garmin has auto-pause on?
*I almost certainly wouldn't have, but was on a flyer so thought I'd check 😉
There's a toggle to switch the x axis of graphs to time instead of distance (default) on the desktop web version.
Although strava will allow auto pause in a ride I think the full time is always used for segments
Segments are always elapsed time not moving time.

Alright pukey your warrenty is void octopron etc etc*......
*Hopefully enough of the old school around to remember this 🙂

That bellend at Superstar still owes me a refund.
I turned off Auto pause, some of my climbs were so slow Garmin figured I had stopped so paused itself.

Indeed...If that's what the op was querying then I'd assumed that was fairly obvious. Otherwise it would be possible to grab pretty much any strava kom simply by pausing your garmin half way along the segment and having a breather.
Yeah, I knew Strava only considered elapsed time, but wasn't sure if Strava could deduce that I had stopped if my Garmin had stopped recording also. It must do though, too easy to game the system otherwise.
Must just be a quirk of the graphs that they don't show any periods of zero speed e.g. what sirromj said
