A computer program product and a networking device, such as a router or firewall, including a processor for executing the computer program product to cause the processor to perform various operations. The operations may include providing network access to a computing device, establishing a default rule to change the network access at a first time-of-day, and establishing a conditional rule that the network access will remain unchanged in response an ongoing network session at the first time-of-day that will reach completion before the second time-of-day. The operations may further include obtaining session progress data for the ongoing session, continue providing the network access until completing the session in response to determining that the ongoing session can reach completion before the second time-of-day, and changing the network access before the session reaches completion in response to determining that the ongoing session will not reach completion before the second time-of-day.
