Display chatbot response time in replies

Please add a feature where the chatbot shows how many seconds it took to give an answer. For example, the chatbot could include a message like: “This answer took X seconds to provide.”

I think this could be a helpful feature in the chatbot editor console only, if it provides a meaningful indication of whether our updates to the training documents or Instructions text are improving response efficiency.

However, I would not want to see this exposed in the live chatbot on our site—for the same psychological reason a restaurant shouldn’t publish an app showing how long you’ve been waiting for a table. It draws attention to something the user would complain about.

Nice idea, thank you for sharing, @user23536!

I, however, agree with @Paul_D that sharing this info in the editor only for you to see, rather than publicly. Do you think it would work for you?
