Declaration

public bool StartEnergyUsageTracking();

Returns

bool True if tracking was started or reset; false if energy-usage tracking is not supported on this device or Adaptive Performance is not active.

Description

Starts energy-usage tracking, or resets the baseline if tracking is already active so that subsequent PerformanceMetrics.EnergyUsage readings are measured from now.

A false result has two causes: energy-usage tracking is not supported on this device, or Adaptive Performance is not currently active. In the latter case tracking can succeed once Adaptive Performance becomes active, so check IAdaptivePerformance.Active before giving up.

Is something described here not working as you expect it to? It might be a Known Issue. Please check with the Issue Tracker at issuetracker.unity3d.com.
