Feature Request: [Average Centipawn Loss] by [Time of Day]

I was wondering if we could have some insights on how we play depending on the time of day. Do I play better in the morning or in the evening? (or at night?)
It's not really about you, it's about your opponents.

It'll answer the question: "On which part of the day do i suck slightly less compared to others?"
What is the difference between playing better and sucking slightly less compared to others?

Every country is the same. Every chess web site is the same.

They all judge how well you play by whether you gain or lose rating points, not ACPL.

In this game you get mated by a 978 with 89 ACPL: lichess.org/5bi9UQhk/black

In this game you mated an 1873 with 117 ACPL: lichess.org/DSGC3Vmt/black

When you lost to the 978 did you think to yourself I'm playing great based on the time of day?

When you beat the 1873 did you think yourself I'm playing bad based on the time of day?

Maybe everyone on the planet uses rating points to judge how well people play for a good reason?
That's a good point. But if the feature would be built in to compare different times of day, you could look at wins/losses as well (instead of ACPL). I would also like to be able to see if I make more or less blunders depending on the time of day.

Also the ACPL is much more useful than you are making it to be, since it would be an average over many games. The games that you handpicked are outliers and will not give good indications, but the average will give obvious results. (My ACPL is 28 points lower in the games that I won than in the games that I lost)

The main point is not the ACPL however, that option is already available in the 'chess insights' and not up for discussion.
I would like to compare different times of day.

Is there a chess insights on the phone?

It seems to work on computers, but I could not find it on phones
