problem
When I log tasks into blocks of time in ClickUp Planner (e.g. 2 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon), the system does not check whether I have already used up my entire hourly budget for this task. It simply creates new blockers even if I exceed the task's time quota.
As a result, I mistakenly schedule more hours than would be allowed in the task — and the planning becomes inconsistent.
Desired behavior/ solution
I would like an extension in Planner where ClickUp checks when creating a blocker:
  • Remaining budget of the task: How many hours are left for this task (estimated hours minus hours already booked)?
  • Blocker limitation: If a blocker exceeds the remaining budget, it must either not be created or it is automatically reduced to the remaining budget.
  • Warning/Note: When I try to block more hours, a message appears: “Remaining budget of this task = X h. The blocker has been cut/cannot be created. ”
  • Visual presentation: The task card or in the planner sidebar shows how many hours have already been planned and how many are still available (e.g. “planned: 5 h/budget: 8 h/rest: 3 h”).
  • Also desirable: Overdraft with permission: In exceptional cases, you should perhaps be allowed to overdraw (e.g. when working overtime), but only with explicit confirmation — i.e. not tacitly.
Benefits/Added value for users & ClickUp
  • prevents overbooking and inconsistent planning
  • promotes accuracy in time planning & resource allocation
  • reduces manual readjustments and errors
  • makes ClickUp Planner more attractive for teams with strict time budgets
  • strengthens ClickUp's position over competitors with such features
Reference tool: Scoro, offers a function that shows the remaining time per task in the planner so that you can schedule work accordingly without exceeding the limits.
