Is anyone else being asked to pay for basic (included for the last 4 years at least) Time Entries section today?

Glad to have you here on the Community page, Gene41. To understand the charges for using Time Entries, we need to review your subscription and check your login. Let's delve into several troubleshooting to resolve this matter.

Start by reviewing your Subscription and Billing information to ensure you have the Essential, Plus, or Advanced version of QuickBooks Online (QBO) including the Time Entries feature. To do so, you can follow the steps below:

1. Log into your QBO account.
2. Click the Gear Icon, then choose Subscription and Billing under Profile.
   
   

Furthermore, if you're using the Time tab in the left panel to enter time entries, note that a separate subscription is needed for integration with your QBO account. You can refer to the visual reference provided below:

However, I recommend contacting our live support team if you're adding time entries by using the + New icon at the upper right corner of the dashboard. This feature should be part of your subscription plan, and you should not incur any charges for using it.

Here's how you can reach them:

1. Click on Help (?) at the upper right corner of your screen.
2. Tap on Search, then select Contact Us.
3. Choose a topic to connect with the right expert.
4. Select how to contact our QB support team.

• Via a Callback, where they’ll save you a spot and call you back.
• Via Chat, start a chat with our support.

You can check our QBO live team support availability via this link.

I'm here to help with any questions about QBO's time entries. Just click the Reply tab and type your inquiry. I’ll get back to you promptly.

Without doing anything on my side, the paywall screen is gone today and I am able to access the basic time entry portal again.  Thanks for reaching out but it must have been a glitch/bug.

Thanks for checking back in, @gene41. 

I'm happy to see the time entry portal is back up and running for you. 

Please don't hesitate to reach out any time you need a helping hand. Have a good one!
