The Present Perfect Continuous tense (have/has been + verb in the -ing form) is used to describe an action that started in the past and is still continuing or has recently stopped. It often focuses on the activity or process. For example:
I have been studying the logs all morning. – This means the action started earlier and may still be happening now.
