<clocked in> over $338 million in sales

[Ostap]

Hello to everybody.
This is from a video on NFTs:
Since then, NFTs have been applied to video games, digital art, and sports memorabilia. One example is NBA Top Shot, which allows users to procure a collection of digital basketball highlights, like a video clip of a posterizing dunk. All highlights are NFTs and have become big business. By mid-March, NBA Top Shot had clocked in over $338 million in sales since it went live in October 2020.


I did a search, and found that "clock in" is usually used with time, like "hours", "minutes", etc. Does the usage in question sound idiomatic to you, and what does it really mean?

The expression where I live (Canada) is clocked up. i have never run across clocked in.

That goes for the UK, too.

I think it might be a messy mix of clocked up and raked in, or something similar. At least, the in is used because we're talking about money, and the usual metaphor is that money comes in.

This thread about NFTs reminds me of a nice current joke.

If you buy an NFT with cryptocurrency has anything happened?

I'm familiar with "clocked in", but not in that context. (Hourly workers are said to clock in and out.)
