Is there a way to check my remaining support time?

Ask a Customer Support representative any time you would like to know your current balance. You will also be informed of your remaining support hours each time you make a support request.

What if I need more support time?

If your balance is insufficient to complete the tasks required in a given month, you can either reschedule the task for the following month or purchase additional hours. Each hour costs 8,000 yen, and support hours can be purchased in any quantity.
