      Following these instructions

      So if you would like to reset the counter daily at midnight you need to manually add a cron job. Easiest way to do so is to install the "Cron" package from pfSense package manager: Reset everyday at midnight:

      minute hour mday month wday who               command
      *      *  0              *    *          root    /bin/rm /var/log/radacct/datacounter/daily/used-octets-*

      I have done this and nothing seems to reset , how ever if I execute the command manually in PF it works.
      I left it running two nights in a row and the users still had the same amount of used bandwidth.

        *          0        *     *          *          root        /bin/rm /var/log/radacct/datacounter/daily/used-octets-*
