Honest question for freelancers/agencies:

When clients ask for "one small thing" that turns into
5 hours of work... do you:

A) Bill them anyway (awkward but necessary)
B) Eat the cost (easier than the conversation)
C) Try to bill later (usually forget)
D) Build it into next invoice (sneaky)

Also , roughly how much unbilled extra work do you do
per month?

Under $500
$500-1000
$1000-2000
$2000+
I track everything perfectly (teach me your ways)

Trying to see if this is just a me problem or universal.
