Create a new document, type a character and save the document, leave the document open for 24hrs, then type a new character. The total editing time will now be a day or more...
If you then re-save the document via Save As, the total editing time will be reset to 0.

The display of the date & time for tracked changes has been deprecated, resulting in numerous complaints. You could add your voice to those and make a suggestion for a change at http://word.uservoice.com/.
