  You can't.  The SQL counter module returns a Session-Timeout attribute
to the NAS, and the *NAS* is the one enforcing the session length.  If
you update the database, the NAS doesn't know this, and still enforces
the session length.

  Read the NAS documentation to see how it can extend existing sessions.
 If the documentation doesn't describe how to do it, it's impossible.

  And it's *not* a FreeRADIUS issue.
