[CAL-988] Limit total appointment time per day/week/month
Is your proposal related to a problem?
I want to control the amount of time I spend per day on appointments. Example, no more than 4 hours on Tuesday, no more than 6 hours on Wednesday, etc.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like a time limit function per day/week/month to block my calendar if I am overloaded.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The current appointment limit function is not effective, as not all appointments have the same duration. In my opinion, it is a useless function that should be replaced by a duration limit function.
Additional context
No.
you can do that already in "limits" in event-types
I don't agree, it is not possible ! You can set up a limit number of meetings, but you can't set up a duration, saying I want 3 hours max today
that is true i didnt read the issue correctly.
Thank you! And I would like to add that this feature makes as much sense, if not more, than limiting the number of appointments per day, because depending on the duration of the appointments, this number does not correspond to the same thing, which in my opinion lacks sense but which is nevertheless a mistake repeated by all online booking software, I do not know why
i think it depends on the person. i think adding a time limit makes sense. will discuss with the team

Hey @PeerRich , just wondering if this is already being worked on? Otherwise, I would love to work on this.
Are there any discussion on how this feature would be implemented?
- Should we replace the existing booking limit (frequency) as OP suggested?
- Or, do we implement it as a new option while retaining the previous ones?
@bvairet can you look at this? https://www.loom.com/share/c494bbe683604d349a7dd9ec889b1dac

@PeerRich very nice, that would be even better to set up multiple time limit frequency, for instance : no more than 4h a day, no nore than 16h a week

Hi, the button to add limits was obstructed by the Avatar on the bottom left but this should already be possible in that same preview 😄

Hi @PeerRich, I just recalled that there was a bounty for this. Just wondering if its not too late to submit a bid?
I am not sure to understand how it works. Why is the topic closed ? What is a bounty, what is a bid ? The feature is ready yet or finally won’t be added ? The answer is not clear to me as a non developer.

Hi @bvairet, you may expect the feature (as demonstrated in the loom video) to be added on the next version release AFAIK.

I'm not familiar with the usual rate for the bounties. I would appreciate if you can suggest an appropriate amount. Thanks!

Hi, thank you all for this new feature, it is a great one.
One comment though: there is only room for 3 visible characters for the number of minutes, so when you enter 2000 minutes per month, it reads 200, which is a bit confusing.
Also, it would be great to be able to choose the blocking unit in hours. This is more meaningful over a week or a month than the number of minutes.
@ShaneMaglangit can you increase the min-width?
Definitely, I send another PR for this soon.
