Time Slot: Time Increments / Overcapacity warning

When adding a task to the time slot, it will increase automatically the time slot duration according to the total of tasks inside.

I LOVE Time Slots. This is possibly one of the BEST Akiflow features.
I was nearly going to start a new thread, but, this is close enough to my idea on what Time Slots could do in the future (they hold so much potential).
For starters, although I like the idea from the OP, I think a Time Slot shouldn't necessarily "grow" in size as these are usually pre-defined by the user. Instead, I think what would be SUPER HELPFUL is if, for example, a Time Slot is pre-defined as 1Hr, and once the user starts to fill it up with tasks, Akiflow indicates the cumulative task amount and/or the remaining capacity of that Time Slot.
Furthermore, if one continues to keep shoving tasks into an already "full" Time Slot, the remaining capacity becomes a negative figure to reflect that it is now over capacity.
Another useful feature that could be automatically taken care of with Aki is that the automatic assistant moves any unfinished tasks to the next related Time Slot. Eg: You have (like me) a recurring "Administration" Time Slot and if tasks are not completed then Aki automatically moves them to a new related future slot. I guess this should be a separate request (so I will create one).
Finally, it would be great if a Time Slot could be the actual Goal for the day. That way, one can possibly bundle various tasks that might be part of an overall Goal. Again, this should probably be a separate request (so I will create one).

Time Slots are really great for 'slotting' tasks into premade working blocks. This was one of the reasons I've switched back from Sunsama to Akiflow. However, I need Akiflow to keep accountable and realistic of how much I can complete in the certain timeslot.
Right now, if I have tasks that take more time than an alloted time slot, there's no way for me to know this. I have to manually add up the times -- which take more time and take me out of "planning" to solving mode.
Similar to the main tasks list for the day, please add a feature to show total task time within each slot. Even better if there's an indicator (yellow or red font) if the tasks within the slot are slightly over planned (maybe 15 mins over) to very overplanned.
This will give immense confidence that my planning tool will not allow me planning unrealistically which it's doing right now. Thanks!

Love this idea. Also could be a flag showing you're over capacity. (Not a critical feature, definitely a nice to have as long as it doesn't ruin the full experience.)

Added context from James : it would be good to have a visual representation that the tasks in the slot are over the time allocated
