>From what you described above I think the way it was configured on my side wasn't intended to work so it's obvious to me now that it isn't supposed to work on the current versions of freeradius either which why I went and read docs and configuration files to find how to do it right.

I guess I missed the %l because it wasn't clear enough for me on this page: https://wiki.freeradius.org/config/run_time_variables
That "request timestamp" meant unix time next to %l
