What inspired you to join this industry?
I was assigned to a project which has application support and maintainance in Ionic. I am from Native android background having 4 years of experience. Does ionic has demand in industry ? I am a little skeptical about this. Please if anyone could throw some light on it.

Your paid for availability + work done. That’s a retainer. You should receive $4.5k for the month. Normal.
You’re getting paid for work getting done. I have clients I charge a flat rate and some months I I work more than others.
It’s ok. I’d suggest just moving the contract to just a flat rate without a time sheet
are you on hourly pay? then don’t worry about it

Have you checked in w the client twice a week for more work? Seems like that would be the best way to cover yourself. But I like what the producers above said, too.
Feels weird that you have to submit a timesheet if you’re on a flat rate retainer. Can you kill the timesheet and just continue on as you were? That’s what a retainer is, they are retaining you for your time whether they need it or not.
Sometimes timesheets are used to track billable to the client as well as internal profitability cost centers. And yes if you are consistently only working a small number of hours the agency will want to renegotiate the retainer at some point but for now enjoy and I wouldn’t flag anything for them. The move is theirs to make.
