 I am trying to use sqlcounter to count octets and am having the same 
problem.  It seems that sqlcounter module was designed to handle the 
amount of time a user is allowed online and as such is hardcoded to 
return the Session-Timeout value according to the sql query.

I put a seperate entry in the radcheckgroup table with the 
session-timeout value but freeradius seems to always return the lower of 
the two values... again presumably to limit online usage. 

Anyway let me know if you find a way... I am going to see if I can make 
sense of "rlm_sqlcounter.c" with my limited c knowledge :-)
