Add a new type of availability: max h / day

[ovizii]

Say I have a side business, limited to a specific amount of time per day, I would really like to have the option of an added availability limit. Say I set it to max 2h / day, calnode would accept events up to this amount of length. Like I am available 9-5 but only for 2h a day.

Would that be possible please?

Thanks — I understand the use case (available 9-5, but only want to take ~2h of bookings a day for the side business).

Honest answer on why this is not a small toggle: the slot engine is currently stateless per start time (rules + busy intervals in, slots out). A daily cap needs day-level accounting — count what is already booked that day, then suppress the rest once the budget is hit. Doable, but it is a new limiter with real design questions, not a setting I want to guess wrong on:

• Is the cap per host across all event types, or per event type? Your case sounds per-host.
• Should external-calendar busy time count toward the cap, or only Calnode bookings? And do buffers count?
• With multiple hosts on an event type, whose day fills up?

Tracking as #91. If you can add a line on your answers to the three questions above, it directly shapes whatever gets built.

Thanks for considering.

• Is the cap per host across all event types, or per event type? neither, I think this should be decided per person.
• Should external-calendar busy time count toward the cap, or only Calnode bookings? And do buffers count? Only calndoe bookings should be limited
• With multiple hosts on an event type, whose day fills up? not sure what "hosts" means in this context. If it means the person whose calendar this lands on, then obviously that person's bookings should be limited.
