How to Set Support Hours for Discord Tickets (Free, 2026)
Members open tickets at 3 AM and think they're being ignored. Support hours fix that: the bot tells them when your team is offline and when to expect a reply, and doesn't nag your staff while they sleep.

What support hours do
- Offline notice: a ticket opened outside your hours gets a message like "Our staff are offline right now, so replies may take a while." You can write your own.
- Staff reminders wait: "this ticket needs a reply" reminders only go out during your hours.
- Awaiting response: tickets where staff replied and the member hasn't can move to their own category, so your team sees what actually needs them.
How to set it up
- Add Nodariq and create a ticket panel (dashboard → Tickets, or
/setup). - In the dashboard, open Tickets → Support hours.
- Pick your time zone and the hours for each day.
- Write your offline message, or keep the default.
- Optional: turn on Awaiting response and choose a category.
- Press Save.
It's free on every plan.
Tips
- Put your hours in the panel message too, so members see them before opening a ticket.
- If you have staff in several time zones, use one wide window instead of guessing.
- Pair it with auto-close so abandoned tickets clean themselves up.
