I'm just trying to reduce the user's time by five or ten minutes when a
program is run. The get_time_left I was using was just to verify that the
time has changed, and will be removed later on. Is there a better option to
get the remaining time of the user than "bbs/user.get_time_left"?
Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the 'T' exemption? I have changed
everyone's level to the default level 15, with 15 minutes per day and a
maximum of 15 minutes per call, and the user I'm testing this on is on that
level, a regular user account.
The door itself is not set on suspend time as well.
