      I had the setting to clear widget counters daily but noticed that they weren't. I installed the cron package to check and the 2 entries to clear the counters weren't there.
      I applied the setting again and the 2 cron jobs were added:

      The next day/today I checked and the counters again weren't cleared. The 2 cron jobs disappeared again.
      Readded them again (!) and run the 2 commands from the cli clearing the counters.

      Something is fishy here with the cron jobs (only those 2) disappering.....

          @manilx If I change widget clear counters to weekly the 2 respective cron jobs stay. If I set it to daily they are created but disappear after a few minutes.

          @BBcan177 Looks like a bug somewhere to me.

            @manilx Spoke to soon: The cron entries also disappear after I set it to clear weekly (bu stayed longer there).

            So in a nutshell: feature is broken as the cron jobs are somehow deleted......

              @manilx Can anyone confirm or not confirm this? Wonder if I'm the only one using this.

                      @fireodo Perhaps....
                      Wonder why developer is not responding lately. Hope he's OK.

                        I think he is aware of the problematic but maybe he has more important things to do - this is annoying but not something that impacts the main functionality of pfBlockerNG - IMHO 😏
                        @BBcan177 and also annoying is that autosort in DNSBL is not working 😕
                        PS. You should mention on what pfsense version it occures.

                            @BBcan177 Installed 23.01 on my 8200, rfemoved -devel and installed release pfblockerng.

                            This issues still happens. I add daily to both the clear counter fields in the widget, check that 2 cron entries are added. And after a minute or so they are again gone.

                                I am experiencing this same issue even on 23.05+ and the latest release of pfBlockerNG 3.2.0_5. When the widget is enabled to clear the daily counters, the blocks get cleared, but not the queries which skews the percentages. Even if I clear them manually from the widget, sometimes I have to do it multiple times to get the actual query count to clear. To be fair, this has always been an issue since I started using pfSense about 9 months ago (22.05+, 23.01+, and now 23.05+).

                                I reported this before, but no one ever responded. Not the end of the world. The one feature I miss having from Pi-hole is the default view of the last 24 hours of activity on the main screen.
