TimeLimit
by Bishops_exe
TimeLimit lets a server owner set a daily playing allowance, and disconnects players who exceed it with a message.
What it does
Server owners can configure a daily time limit, expressed in seconds, so that the allowed time per player is fixed for each day. Once a player has used up that allowance, the server disconnects them and shows the message "Reached daily time limit." The default example in the configuration is 7200 seconds, which equals two hours.
The reset point depends on the timezone offset setting, which accepts formats such as +/- HH:MM, +/- HH:MM:SS or Z for UTC. Because only the server reads this setting, players connect without installing anything. The mod requires Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric on 1.21.11 only, under the MIT License; the code is not open source.
Key features

The allowed playing time per day is set in seconds, so a server can choose any length it wants.

A timezone offset setting defines when the daily count resets, in several accepted formats including UTC.

Use cases
Family servers
A parent or server owner can cap how long a child plays on a shared server each day.
Scheduled play on community servers
Owners who want fixed playing hours can align the daily reset with their local timezone through the offset setting.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want to limit how much time each player spends in a day, and who run Fabric servers on 1.21.11.
How it compares
Large Disconnect is a Fabric mod for 1.21.11 that is client-side only, and it is released under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0, so it is not open source. Daily TODO is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.4 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. TimeLimit differs by running on the server, where the limit is enforced for every player.
