    I'm shooting low bitrate low framerate time lapses, and I never know how
    much space I have remaining.

    Once I've set the bitrate, and the max file size, and max time (1 hour) and
    the max number of repeats (10), and recorded a good long chunk of video,
    I'd love to be able to enable a visual estimator of "estimated time
    remaining"

    It would take the minimum of

    • remaining timeout repeats * max time per clip
    • Remaining file size repeats * (file size per repeat * estimated
      duration of video of that file size)
    • Space left / actual recent MBPS (I get that it can vary with audio +
      video bitrate, so it would be a rough estimation)
    • Battery drain rate

    And only show up along with the upper-left indicators, eg

    "6h remaining (storage)"
    or
    "56m remaining (max repeats)"

    And if it is off by some percent, no big deal, I'm interested in "do I have
    3 hours or 8 hours left?"

    I agree with the request for this feature.
    How many photos and videos can be taken with the current settings?
    This is very important.

    Because if there is not enough space, the contents can be backed up to the cloud or PC.
