The norm is to have normal business terms and to be reasonably available during normal business hours. Once you become a consultant, you're running a business.
That said, the way you learn consulting is by making mistakes. Next time, discuss what the client wants before deciding on a price. Then you can have client meetings at 2x the base rate and set other expectations into the agreement.
On the other hand if you have to point to your contract, there's a bigger client relation problem.
