TIME is a small but helpful feature of mikrotik. If you want to implement any rule in specific timings only , then it can quickly help you in this regard.
TIME based filter rule
Just for an Example I want to BLOCK all sort of access for an IP from 1:00pm till 3:00pm, then simply create a Firewall rule that will block traffic from this IP address and and in TIME section, modify the required time, something like below . . .
Change the IP / Time as per your requirement

CLI Code:
/ip firewall filter add action=drop chain=input comment="Block access for user ZAIB from 1:pm till 3:pm" disabled=no src-address=172.16.0.10 time=\ 13h-15h59m59s,sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
If the user is pppoe, use FORWARD chain.
.
TIME based QUEUE
Allow users to use 1mbps link at day time starting from 12:00PM till 12:00AM,
then from 12:00AM they can use 2mps till next day 12:00PM.
Example:
/queue simple add burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s comment="1Mb from 12:00pm till 12:00am - NIGHT Package" direction=both disabled=no \ interface=all limit-at=0/0 max-limit=2M/2M name="2Mb from 12:00am till 12:00pm - NIGHT Package" packet-marks="" parent=none priority=8 \ queue=default-small/default-small target-addresses=172.16.0.0/24 time=0s-11h59m59s,sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat total-queue=default-small add burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s comment="1Mb from 12:00pm till 12:00am - DAY Package" direction=both disabled=no \ interface=all limit-at=0/0 max-limit=1M/1M name="1Mb from 12:00pm till 12:00am - DAY Pacakge" packet-marks="" parent=none priority=8 queue=\ default-small/default-small target-addresses=172.16.0.0/24 time=12h-23h59m59s,sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat total-queue=default-small
