The standard Case Age field calculates the difference between the case creation date and the current date in calendar days. This does not accurately reflect working hours, especially for 24/7 or business-hours-based support operations.
Salesforce provides a Business Hours Age feature that calculates case duration based on defined business hours, taking into account working time, holidays, and time zones. Enabling Business Hours Age ensures that reports show a true representation of how long cases remain open under the organization's operational hours.
Creating a custom formula (Option A) could produce inconsistent results due to time zone and holiday differences. A report snapshot (Option B) provides historical trends but doesn't dynamically calculate active case age.
