Marketing - Printing & Publishing / Webpage
German term or phrase: Korrekturaufkommen
Derzeit wird von einem "Korrekturaufkommen" von etwa 2 bis 5 Stunden pro Monat ausgegangen.

Is anyone familiar with this term? This is a segment marketing pitch which discribes the extra fees a client would have to pay for monthly upgrades to their website.

time required for corrective measures
Explanation:
It goes to the amount/extent/volume/occurrence of necessary corrections/updates necessary. I believe scope might also fit here.

A similar word in German is Verkehrsaufkommen: volume of traffic, or just traffic.
You could try to do without the "Aufkommen" - part, especially because it does realte to the (amount of) time required for corrective measures/corrections.

See examples of different "degrees" of necessary corrective measures in German:
