Давайте вспомним Present Perfect
Continuous.
Is it raining? No, it isn't but the ground is wet.
It has been raining. This is THE
PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS.
We use the Present Perfect Continuous when we talk about
an action /quite a long action/ which began in the past
and has recently
stopped or just stopped.
Обратите внимание на слова has recently
stopped or just stopped
Это очень важно.
Here are some examples:

Why are your clothes so dirty? What have you been
doing?
Чтобы запомнить предыдущий пример, представьте себе чумазого
пятилетнего парнишку, у которого мама спрашивает: Why are your clothes
so dirty? What have you been doing?
We also use the Present Perfect
Continuous to ask or
to say how long something has
been happening.
This time the action or situation
began in the past and is still happening or has
just stopped.
It is raining now. It began to rain 2
hours ago and it is
still raining. IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR 2 HOURS.
We use it with HOW LONG, FOR and SINCE.
How long have you been learning English?
They've been waiting here for over an hour.
I've been watching television since 2
o'clock.
George hasn't been feeling very well recently.
Have you been working
