The days counter for late submissions shows decimals for Checkpoints in speedgrader

Canvas

This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 5/7/25.

Description

Checkpoint discussions show decimal points in days late box.

Expected Behavior

To calculate a late penalty, Canvas rounds up the day or hour to the next whole number. For example, you may set a 10% per day late submission policy. If a student submits a 10-point assignment 1.3 days late, the late penalty will round 1.3 days up to 2 days. The student's score will reflect a 20% (2 point) late submission deduction.
