Allow users to customize the quota refresh anchor time
Summary
Please allow users to customize the quota refresh anchor time, instead of always inheriting a fixed rolling schedule.
Current behavior
Today the quota refresh time appears to be fixed relative to an earlier refresh point. For example:
- quota refreshes at
9:37 - the next 5-hour quota refresh is then at
14:37
This creates a gap when the refresh schedule does not line up with a user's actual work hours.
Real workflow problem
My workday often starts around 9:30.
If I use up my quota by 12:00, I then have to wait until 14:37 for the next refresh.
That means the quota technically refreshes every 5 hours, but not at times that are useful for my working schedule.
Requested behavior
Please add a way to customize the refresh anchor time, for example:
- let the user choose a preferred daily anchor time
- then continue refreshing quota every 5 hours from that anchor
- optionally limit how often the anchor can be changed, such as once every 7 days, to prevent abuse
Example
- Current schedule:
9:37->14:37 - Preferred schedule: first refresh anchor at
7:00-> next refresh at12:00
In that case, if I run out of quota around noon, I can continue working immediately instead of waiting another 2.5 hours.
Why this would help
- better matches real working hours
- reduces downtime caused by awkward refresh timing
- improves predictability for heavy users
- makes quota windows more practical without changing the total quota amount
Alternatives if full customization is too complex
If full custom scheduling is not feasible, even one of these would help:
- let users choose from a few preset refresh schedules
- allow a one-time or occasional "reset refresh anchor" action
- align refresh windows to local time blocks more predictably
Thanks for considering it.
