I don't know your situation, but my rule of thumb after having burned myself out is that if I'm not being paid for the time I'm not taking that time.

Then tell whoever pays you to do so or figure it out themselves. That's kind of the whole deal with hiring people to do work for you. Unless you're salaried.
