<div>I've actually tested the sqlcounter for a data counter for both weekly and monthly resets and that doesn't work well either...</div>
<div>This is odd because people have reported this working so... it is either something in the configuration that I'm missing</div>
<div>or I really don't know what's going on but the counter seem to behave as expected.</div>

time used) is greater than the time left in the period, time left in the<br>period is added to the limit and sent as reply.<br><br>This will create problems for data counters since limit values are much<br>greater than those for time counters. As a workaround I would suggest<br>
that you comment this out if you are using data counters.<br><br>Perhaps there is a case for adding another configuration item to<br>sqlcounter that would determine what is counted time or data. Then for<br>data counters this can be skipped or replaced with something like:<br>
<br>if (data->reset_time && (trigger >= (data->reset_time -<br>request->timestamp))) {<br> res += check_vp->vp_integer;<br>}<br><br>where trigger would be set to a minute for hourly counter and hour for<br>
daily, weekly and monthly counters. I am sorry but I don't know how to<br>write a patch.<br>
