Nest WiFi limit access based on usage time

AA9

Hello,

From what I understand, you can limit internet access on demand or based on a schedule. Is there a way to limit based on usage? As in limiting a device to 1 hr a day, regardless of the time of day? I am not able to find that option among those documented.

Thanks!

There is no feature or setting to limit based on usage, unfortunately.

Depending on the device, you might be able to limit screen time and achieve this that way instead.

Thanks! It seems like a simple feature to me, and fairly useful, but good to know.

Just curious, what should I expect from Google on this? I looked up the topic online and it seems that it has been requested for a couple of years already. Is this something that will happen? While I could look at making this at the device level, it is a feature that is relevant to me, and if there are no plans on supporting it I'd rather return the device and find one that meets my needs. Thoughts?
