Put what you did with a price attached. On a separate line put a discount for that much money (with reason for discount if you want). So instead of "what you did for free" it's quantified $X discount.

Which is another way of saying "Don't do anything for free" or "There's a big difference between $1 and $0."

If there's a line item you're charging them, and then a credit, it's apparent to everyone that your work has value. If it's just missing... then the value can be forgotten much more easily.

You're still doing it for free. But at least it's properly accounted for.
