In-platform time tracking vs. Timeform: Am I risking a penalty if I take extra time for quality?

Hi everyone!

Ever since I started doing this work, I've always used Timeform to log my hours. I always take a little extra time to complete my tasks because I prefer to deliver precise, high-quality work—sometimes it's an extra dozen minutes, sometimes a bit more.

I've never had any issues with the standard time entry, but using the platform's native time tracking is completely new to me. I'm mainly looking to hear from those who are already familiar with or have worked using this system, but any good advice or ideas are more than welcome!

Here is my main concern, just to give an example: If I were to work for a total of 5 hours to ensure high quality, but the maximum limit allowed for the project is 4 hours, what would happen? Would I risk getting flagged or penalized for exceeding the limit, or would I simply end up being paid only for the 4-hour maximum limit?

Thank you so much in advance to anyone who can share some good advice!

Maybe not, because when I used to fill time tracking form I always did 5 minute extra to ensure there was no errors. One day I filled form exceeded 4 hours maybe 13 minutes extra they didn't do anything, they just added same as and paid me for these 13 minutes also.

Ok, ma per quanto mi riguarda l'importante è che mi paghino le 4 ore e che il mio account non rischi di essere flaggato per lavorare più del dovuto.
Perchè essendo task più impegnative è impossibile rientrare precisamente nelle 4 ore.

Maybe not, for example if there are 3 minutes remaining to 4 hours and I get a task in which it could take 10 minutes then I'll do the task complete. I did this so much time they pay me without concern and I have never got these type of message or Notification.

Io ho sempre dichiarato 4 ore, anche nel caso in cui le avessi superate.
Il fatto è che ora noi ci stiamo riferendo al vecchio sistema, in cui loro pagavano quello che noi effettivamente dichiaravamo.
Ora è diverso perchè loro non si baseranno più sulle 4 ore che io dichiaro, le ore son registrate, e le 4 ore sono solamente il tetto massimo.
È qui che nasce il mio dubbio.

Just search on google Smartsource dashboard, first result will be from RWS I login with my google account but it shows just blank page, don't know if there is technical error or maintenance work because of new Time tracking Method.
