One thing is that - we read "sql_counter" module is useful to limit the time a user can spend daily, weekly, or monthly on the network.

Has sql_counter has problems in limiting a user's data usage or accounting the duration used in the each of the session establishment and provide the access.

Not really. Basically it counts/sums something from accounting table (e.g. session time), compare it against something else (e.g. user time quota), and return the difference in an attribute (e.g. session-timeout).

If your NAS (e.g. chillispot, openvpn, mikrotik routers, whatever) has an attribute that supports data limit, then you can use sqlcounter for that (e.g. http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=33879)

You could setup multiple instance of sql counters, one for time limit, one for data limit.
