Support by Time WHMCS module
The Support by Time WHMCS module turns your WHMCS into a fully automated platform for selling paid technical support measured in hours. It lets you sell a recurring support plan that includes a fixed amount of hours per month, with an automatically calculated hourly rate for time used outside the package — or a one-time bucket of hours that the service consumes until it auto-terminates.
Operators log time directly from the ticket page — manually or with a built-in start/stop timer — the module aggregates totals per ticket, per service and per month, keeps a full audit trail of who logged what, and WHMCS billable items are created automatically by the daily cron.

Main features

Hour packages — configurable number of support hours included per month per product

Overtime billing — per-currency hourly rate charged for hours used outside the package

Two billing modes — recurring (monthly reset) or One Time (fixed bucket of hours, auto-terminate when depleted)

Time granularity — time tracked and entered in HH:MM (minute precision)

Manual time entry — operators log spent time directly when responding to a ticket

Live timer — start/stop a server-anchored timer on the ticket; a floating widget shows all running timers on every admin page

Multi-entry per ticket — every save (or timer stop) is recorded as its own entry, so "10 min triage + 30 min fix" is preserved as two lines with individual notes and operators

Notes & operator tracking — each entry stores an optional note and the WHMCS admin who logged it

Audit trail — append-only log of every action (time logged, edited, deleted, timer start/stop/cancel, service ordered, ticket billed) shown on the ticket and on the service page

Operator report — per-operator hours and entry counts for the current and previous month

Two save actions — save time without closing the ticket, or close the ticket and save time

Quick service ordering — when a client without an active support service opens a ticket, the operator can order one straight from the ticket page

Ticket protection — once a ticket has been billed, its time entries are locked against edit/delete/reopen

Past-month tickets — tickets logged in earlier months are flagged as already charged and require splitting/re-creating

Automatic monthly billing — daily cron creates one WHMCS billable item per ticket for the previous month's overage hours

Configurable invoice action — choose between Invoice on next cron, Add to user's next invoice or Do not invoice

Usage notifications — email the client when monthly usage crosses configurable thresholds (e.g. 80%, 100%)

Client transparency — card-based client area with a usage progress bar, an interactive cost calculator and a 12-month usage chart; an optional toggle reveals the operator note + name per ticket

Multi-currency — separate hourly rate per WHMCS-configured currency

Multi-language — 25 languages

License verification — built-in license system with online/offline verification and admin alerts
