Was the task estimated in story points or by time?

Task estimation is most often done in story points, as this allows for considering complexity, uncertainty, and volume of work without tying it to specific time. Story points help the team better plan sprints and account for productivity based on historical data. Time-based estimation (hours, days) is used less frequently, usually for more precise planning or when a specific deadline is required, but it is less flexible and can be misleading due to differences in the working speed of different developers.
