I believe the answer is:

nowadays

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the moment' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'definitely not succeeded limiting bill' is the wordplay.
'definitely not' becomes 'no way'.
'succeeded' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation).
'limiting' is an insertion indicator.
'bill' becomes 'ad' (advertisement stuck on wall).
'noway'+'s'='noways'
'noways' going around 'ad' is 'NOWADAYS'.

'at' is the link.
