Enforcing traffic limits is impossible - using standard radius attributes.
And this has nothing to do with freeradius version.
But most vendors (not just likes of Cisco, but ChilliSpot, Mikrotik, etc.)
have vendor specific attributes (VSA) that you can use to limit traffic.
Read your vendor documentation (or ask the vendor) to see how it can be
done. Then use that VSA in the (sql)counter.
