Hey First off, love Plex. Love it so much I bought a server just for it to go on and currently have around 2,000 movies and TV shows running on it. Also have Plex Pass I'd love to see a feature to be able to restrict access to Plex at certain time. My kids both have Now TV boxes,installe…

This feature would be nice. We have the ability to set specifics by ratings, but not timeframes.

I would really like this as well, especially now in the midst of COVID-19 lockdowns. I have a couple of friends accessing my Plex server, which hasn’t been a problem in the past, but now I’m doing videoconferencing from home along with all my neighbors, and the congestion is just too much upstream f…

I think the ability to set a time limit and days/hours restrictions particularly for my kids user accounts is a great idea. Like on my PC, (and most devices these days) all streaming services should have this a feature.

My Dad had a foolproof cure for not following the instructions laid down for my behavior - and he wouldn’t have needed Plex to help him. As I recall we rarely needed more than one reminder that he was, in fact, in charge.

With Comcast/Xfinity instituting monthly data caps nationwide, this feature is needed more now than ever. I would love to limit the timeframe of some users, while giving other 24/7 access. It would also be nice to have the option to lift the time restriction for some users, for a certain period of…

+1 for this as well I wonder if plex developers can use their shared library settings for users so you set the time and date and it will enable and disable the shared library folders e.g. in profile > users and sharing > friends > shared library > tick / untick shared folders

This would be handy - I’m surprised Netflix/Amazon Video haven’t done it yet, surely it would save bandwidth and their costs?

How is the status of this feature? I like to restrict streaming from 2:00 - 12:00
