So you did. Sorry. Perhaps it's too discrete. Perhaps "+1W/8" or something. I haven't looked much at org-clock.el. Perhaps you can take a look a look and make an assertion of whether it's feasible.

I wrote a suggestion above, e.g. "8+1w" would mean that the +1w (every week) repeater was constrained to a maximum of 8 times. Stephen

In the past I used org-class, which might be what you refer to below.

My understanding is that you would like to extend Org’s "datey" syntax to allow provide an end in this statement, <2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 8+1w> What is the syntax you have got in mind? Thanks, Rasmus -- However beautiful the theory, you should occasionally look at the evidence
[O] Repeating timestamp with interval N times
Hi, I'd like to write a timestamp like: ** Weekly office hour <2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 +1w> but instead of having it occur every week until the end of time(!), I'd like it repeated N (=8) here. I can't see how to do this easily, am I missing something? I could use `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' but ideally I'd like something concise like: <2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 8+1w> Is this likely to be feasible? I can submit a patch if it is and someone points me in the right direction. Or, do I need to refer to some sexp magic "DIARY-STYLE SEXP ENTRIES"? I can see how to fix it by extending diary-cyclic to include the parameter specifying the max number of repeats. Thanks, Stephen
