+### Indeterminite Progress
+
+For indeterminate progress, simply set the `amount` to the `max`.  If these two values are identical, the progress bar is shown in an "indeterminate" state (e.g. the filled portion of the bar is drawn in a different color, default `gray`).  This is to handle cases where a job "sits at 100%" but isn't quite complete, and also handle deliberate intermintate jobs (i.e. your code can just set the `amount` to the `max` to show an interminate bar).  This also hides the time remaining.
+
+For an additional UI hint, if you know your job is going to be indeterminate from the start, set the `pct` option to `false` to hide the percentage display.  Otherwise it'll show "100%" during indeterminacy.
+
 ### Changing Color Styles
 
 The progress bar uses a set of color styles from the [chalk](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk) module or a custom function for the spinner, braces, bar chunks, percentage display, remaining time, and your custom text (if applicable).  To customize these, pass in a `styles` object with the following keys:

 Each key should be set to an array of styles supported by the [chalk](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chalk) module or a function.  These are arrays because each component may contain multiple styles.  For example, by default the `spinner`, `bar` and `pct` are styled with both a color and `bold`.
 
-The `indeterminate` style is applied to the filled portion of the bar when the `amount` is exactly equal to the `max`.  This is to handle cases where a job "sits at 100%" but isn't quite complete, and also handle deliberate intermintate jobs (i.e. your code can just set the `amount` to the `max` to show an interminate bar).
