state counters, firewall rules resetting?

Which says : ones a day, at minute 15.
No not minute - that is hour.
15 is 3pm for non 24 hour clock people ;)
Something lost in translation with the cron setting in pfblocker it seems..

By any chance, are these flat-earthers related ?
I was told a day has 24 hours.Anyway :
What I make of it : "15 minutes after midnight".
If it's something else : fine to me
No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
Edit : and where are the logs ?? -
I just applied the patch
This is my Crontab after applying the patch , but nothing else

It does 0 to 23 ;)
What version are you on - your cron package looks different than mine.

Ha, same! I can fail to follow instructions like any user.
You should just be able to remove those cron jobs and the patch would prevent them being re-added.

@stephenw10 haha - yeah I can not follow instructions with the best of them... Users have nothing on me when it comes to not paying attention or missing details that is for sure.
So ELI5 - why wouldn't the patch remove old crons if they are not needed.. So we are suppose to manually remove those daily, weekly, monthly crons?
I went in and saved cron job, and even restarted the cron services - I still how them in the cron package - am I suppose to delete them? And then restart cron?

@gertjan ah - not sure why your pfblocker is set to 15 minutes, while mine is set to 15 for the hour..
I think that was what was throwing me - you had 15 in the minute in your cron, but mine is on the hour..

@johnpoz Do you have the patch for redmine #14016 applied?
I had a problem on 23.01 with pfBlocker IP counters resetting overnight until I applied this. I didn't notice the firewall counters. Something in the default cron jobs must have been resetting it?
Thanks @bigsy for calling out this patch. I have been running into the same issue (pfBlockerNG IP counters resetting overnight) and then noticed similar to @johnpoz that my traffic counters didn't make sense. Applied the patch and will monitor to see if that has hopefully fixed it.
Relevant thread:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/178107/23-01-periodic-scripts-have-been-re-enabled-and-are-broken/5After a couple of days of monitoring, it looks like the patch did the trick. No more counter resets on pfBlockerNG and traffic totals also look more reasonable.

Partial reset : LAN :
edit : or a total reset of all counters, and IPv6 is 75 % of all outbound traffic
