Time Insights is an exclusive Google Calendar feature for school and work Google Accounts. This is a productivity-enhancing feature that provides you with insights into how you spend your time on the application.
Time Insights records the appointments, scheduled events, time spent on work, etc., every week. It then divides the information into three categories with proper insights into how well you have managed your time.
It also has a Time Breakdown section that provides a quick overview of the nature of events that you have spent your time on in the last week. It contains events like focus time, 1:1, 3+ guests, needs to respond, remaining time, etc.
