Timestamp question

I often remotely connect to my PC from other locations. I've been capturing screenshots for ASUS regarding the voltage spike issue I've been seeing, and I noticed something odd today. When I leave the remote desktop alone for a while, and then click on it, I often see the voltage spike at that exact moment, but today I noticed that the time on the graph (SoC voltage) for two adjacent points had more than a thirty minute gap. This gap is likely the time in which I minimized the remote desktop window and did something else. This leaves me wondering a couple of things:
1. Does HWinfo stop rendering the graph/sampling data if the window isn't active?
2. Could this be part of the reason I'm seeing voltage spikes (an accumulation of data that's all read at once?)

Here are two screenshots. The first shows a timestamp of 9:48 AM, and the second shows 10:25. The two points are right beside each other. It looks like software stops monitoring between these two times.

1. HWiNFO samples and outputs data whenever the sensors window is open. It doesn't matter if the window is minimized or hidden.
2. Such accumulation of data can't happen in HWiNFO.

I wonder if a component is being put in a sleep state, and then suddenly demands power when I click on something. Could that explain why there's a time gap, because the component in quesiton stops reporting?
 
Such timestamp might rather indicate the system was in a sleep state and woke up when you clicked it.
