What is considered as "An unfinished period of time" while using Present Perfect?
For instance, if I want to ask a person about his/her day and it is still the same day what should I say?
"What have you done today?" or "What did you do today?"
According to the grammar, the variant with Present Perfect is better, because today hasn't finished yet. But maybe for simplification people often use Past Simple here?

Question

Answer

You may say “so far”.

For example:

“How is your day so far?”
“Are you enjoying your food so far?”
“Have you been learning English well so far?”

All these sentences, with “so far” added, denote that the thing is still on-going
