When you say an area with limited sunlight, I’m assuming you mean near a window through which the sun only shines an average (since the amount of time is going to change throughout the year,) of an hour per day. And since you say late afternoon, I’ll make a guess that the window has a western exposure.
This sounds like an area that could be called “medium light” in houseplant terminology.* There are actually many plants common to the interior landscape trade that do well there.

*”low light,” “medium light,” and “high light” are actually real, specific values used by the interior foliage industry. They are defined by measurement with light meters. When used correctly, the terms are not a subjective estimation. Most articles use the terms as an estimation, and so there’s lots of misinformation out there.
It would certainly be a spot that could support “low light” plants. The most common and easiest to care for of those would be snake plant (sanseveria spp.,) ZZ plant (Zamioculcus zamifolia,) and cast iron plant (Aspidistra spp.) Some other plants, more often included in the “medium light” category but still able to do well in the lower levels, are pothos (Scindapsus aureum,) peace lily (Spathiphyllum spp.,) Chinese evergreen (Aglaonema spp.,) corn plant (Dracaena massangeana,) and parlor palm (Chamadorea elegans.) [I include the botanical names, not to be a smart ass, but because common names can differ in different places, but the botanical name is always the same.]
In your other answers, David brings up a good point about plant rotations, although moving plants twice a day sounds like a crazy amount of work to me. Ho alcuni punti in casa mia che non hanno quasi luce, ma voglio comunque una pianta lì - ne prendo una dalle aree più luminose, la metto lì per un mese o due, poi la rimetto alla luce più alta, e ne metto un'altra al buio. Nessuno sembra farci caso.
Inoltre, aggiungendo la luce elettrica si ha la possibilità di avere piante con esigenze di luce più elevate.
