limited hours

Not always open

Limited hours describes a schedule with reduced or restricted availability, typically for businesses, services, or facilities that aren't open during standard times: The clinic operates on limited hours during the summer.

The phrase often signals inconvenience—visitors may need to plan around the constraint: Due to staffing shortages, the library will have limited hours until further notice.
