In the case that you want to delay the processing until the morning, then consider adding Delay Until steps to your Zap: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-delays-to-zaps#delay-after-queue
Concept is to have 2 Zaps
- 1 Zap that runs w/o a Delay step during the hours of 9AM-10PM by checking the timestamp of the Zap Run and then uses a Filter step
- 1 Zap that runs w/ a Delay step during the hours of 10PM-9AM by checking the timestamp of hte Zap Run and then uses a Filter step
Formatter > Date & Time > Format: https://zapier.com/help/create/format/modify-date-and-time-formats-in-zaps

Or you can try using Paths in a Zap: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-branching-logic-to-zaps-with-paths

Hi
One approach is to use 2 Zaps:
Zap 1
- Trigger: Schedule - Every Day (@ 9 AM)
- Action: Zapier Manager - Turn Zap ON
Zap 2
- Trigger: Schedule - Every Day (@ 10 PM)
- Action: Zapier Manager - Turn Zap OFF
