  The counter modules DOES NOT DO THAT.

  To see why, ask yourself what does FreeRADIUS see when the user has
downloaded his quota?

  The answer is "nothing".  The users traffic doesn't go through
FreeRADIUS, because FreeRADIUS isn't a router.

  What FreeRADIUS *may* see is an Accounting-Request for the user.
Which contains the total traffic for the user.

  So if you want to do something when the users traffic is over the
quota, you have to do it in the accounting section.  You have to update
the SQL database, and then check if the user is over quota.

  If so, send a Disconnect-Message, or exec a program to kick the user
offline.

  Yes.  That's what you've configured.  If you want more, you need to
tell the server to do more

  Read the debug output.  You'll see the server receiving
Accounting-Request packets, with the users traffic over quota.  THAT is
when FreeRADIUS can do something.
