When estimations are given and time is logged, then remaining time is displayed based on the logic(estimation-time logged). When the remaining time is changed then the bar will be divided in to three segments based on the inserted value. what is the logic behind the segment differentiation?

Hi @Janushatest 

Assuming you see 3 colours (Blue, Green and Orange) they can be segmented as below

Blue segment — Time Spent: The amount of work already logged against the issue.

Green segment — Remaining Estimate (within the original estimate): The portion of work still to be done that falls within the original estimate boundary.

Orange segment — Overshoot / Exceeded time: This appears when Time Spent + Remaining Estimate > Original Estimate. It represents the amount by which the total expected effort now exceeds what was originally estimated.

You are likely seeing 3 segments in all tickets because the three time valued are individual, once remaining time is edited, rather than derived from each other.
