What is steam idling?

This is mostly a rewrite of Idle Master (Python branch). It will idle all games with play time < 2 hours in parallel until they are out of the refund period (2+ hours). After that, it will idle each game sequentially untill all cards have been dropped.

How do i move dlc on steam?
If you want to install the DLC to a different drive, you can configure the drive as a game location, move the base game over, tell Steam where the new location is, and then download the DLC. That will solve the problem.

Why is steam blocking my purchases?

Does steam track idle time?
Does Steam track idle time? Steam does set you to AFK if you do not use it for a period of time. It only monitors it's own activitiy, so if you are playing a game that does not use Steam or it's overlay, then Steam will have no way of knowing if you are doing anything.
