Thank you fivejedjon.
I think any more refers to a duration of time "I can't do this any more"
And anymore refers to quantity "I don't want to eat anymore of this"
Am I right?

Just the reverse.

I can't do this anymore. / I don't want any more of this.

GPYI consider "anymore" an error in British English.
From what I've read, everybody who speaks and writes BrE has the same opinion. I believe "anymore" began (and continues) as an Americanism. If I knew for certain that a student wanted to learn British English, I would advise them against "anymore".
