Simultaneous?  No, it's getting about 2500 packets (access and accounting) in 3-4 hours, then crashing.

Found my colleagues notes, it relates to these issues:
https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/issues/1131
https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/issues/1384
We use:
log {
...
        requests = ${logdir}/radiusd-%{%{Virtual-Server}:-DEFAULT}-%Y%m%d.log
...
Which is apparently depreciated, but I can't identify why.  We then process those log files to populate a MongoDB.

I really want to know why the "Waking up in" time jumps from 0.x, to 3.x, to 4.x, to 9999x.x to  3978xxx.x seconds?

Would you like me to send a complete debug log to you Alan?

Many thanks in advance,
