Display an updated value for the estimated wait time to the guest waiting for agent

How to show the 'current' estimated wait time (and have it refresh) for a waiting guest.  Estimated wait time is basically the average wait time for the queue, minus the wait time that has elapsed for the guest...and of course, formatted using minutes and seconds

Add this to the Chime adaptive card resource for the automated reply

@{

  var expectedWait = @Model.SeekerAverageWaitTimeMinutes - @Model.SeekerTimeWaitingMinutes;

  var expectedWaitStr = expectedWait.TotalSeconds >

0

 ? expectedWait.ToString(

"mm\\:ss"

) :

"momentarily"

;

}
