Jokes on them I charge by the hour

I was about to say. Rejoice! If this is a client these are billable hours

yea, but it stops being fun when they say it's a bug and it's always supposed to work like that.

If you bid per project you need to have clear milestones and sign-offs. If you bill per hour then it's not issue.
