As a teenager I once got paid a flat rate of $300 for what turned out to be a ten minute job with Excel vlookups.
Funny that my hourly rate peaked at 17.

You probably saved the company 1h of work per week for some years. Finding another expert would have taken them half a day of searching. So it made economic sense from their part as well. Did you learn to seek such situations to profit?
They were very happy to pay me, and gave me that same spiel themselves.
Turned out they had budgeted twice that amount for an external professional consultant to look into it, and just figured they'd let me have a whack at it first because why not.
