I think spending/ using the hour would be correct solutions here, too, since "time" means hour as well as class and both versions make sense. Just reported it.

No, it can mean "the hour" or "the class", at least. See the ordbog for other uses: https://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=time

This sequence of words (in English) sounds very clumsy. "Are you using the class/hour to write letters?" would be better. So skip the preposition "on".
