Tracking Is tracking billable time for Scrum ceremonies timein JIRA an anti-pattern?

We use Story Points for estimating complexity of User Stories.
But, but we bill hours to the client.
ThisThis is the very first Scrum project in thiswithin our company, and we don't have enough data to proceed withcalculate a price per sprint.

I was asked by Executivesthe executives to also track all Scrum ceremonies in JIRA.
InIn my whole Scrum career I have never encountered such a thing. My "danger alarm" is ringing like hellloudly.
I I can see their point. As the project is running in Scrum, we should bill also "Scrum time" to the client. The very the same way, we bill Project Manager time in Waterfall projects.

I know, that "normally" we should bill sprints, whereSprints with the ceremonies are included, but we are not therthere yet. I I try to be openmindedopen-minded, I haven't found anything in the Scrum Guide against tracking Scrum time (e.
Ig. framework overhead).

I can create "Task"a JIRA task in each sprintSprint, where we will clock time used for Scrum events.

  Is this technique strictly against Scrum  ?
