I'm contractor.
Both I and company I work in same (not American jurisdiction).
I get paid by amount of time entered on company's private gitlab x hourly rate. I do have formal written contract with rate.

There are informally agreed upon minimal amounts so it will be full-time work. No rate changes for overtime/work on holidays was agreed upon even if it could be against law here.

Tasks on gitlab have several categories, one of them being bugs (found by testers) and crashes from Crashlytics.
Company decided that it's better not to pay for work on bugs (they just remove those hours from official documents on which payment is calculated). Stated reason was that I make those bugs so it's my problem. They don't even take into account that :some of bugs are in old code (somebody before me just decided that network calls will always end successfully AND will contain requested data), some of bugs are in fact bugs in specific versions in system components, some of bugs.

I don't like this.
I also don't like to find other job (even if I take in account regular payment delays here). Work is interesting for me.

What are my options?
