Use the net user command
net user {username} /times:{day[-day][,day[-day]] ,time[-time][,time[-time]]
[;.] | all}

Specifies the times that users are allowed to use the computer. Time is
limited to 1-hour increments. For the day values, you can spell out or use
abbreviations (that is, M,T,W,Th,F,Sa,Su). You can use 12-hour or 24-hour
notation for hours. If you use 12-hour notation, use AM and PM, or A.M. and
P.M. The value all means a user can always log on. A null value (blank)
means a user can never log on. Separate day and time with commas, and units
of day and time with semicolons (for example, M,4AM-5PM;T,1PM-3PM). Do not
use spaces when designating times.

If you want to force logging off when the time limit expires use net
accounts - although this will apply to all users

net accounts
/forcelogoff:{minutes | no}
Sets the number of minutes to wait before ending a user's session with a
server when the user account or valid logon time expires. The default value,
no, prevents users from being forced to log off.
