This does not achieve what you want, by itself.
1) Sessions that span multiple days will break your logic. In your stack overflow post you’re actually looking at usage for the whole month, not a day.
2) A user will not be disconnected when they reach their limit, as your NAS doesn’t support that.

If what you’ve got here is fine for you then that’s fine I guess - but it's not something I’d put in to production.

That will set the Reply-Message attribute in the reply. No idea if your NAS will do what you want with that, though.
