Monitor traffic on periodic billing (not monthly)

Hello,

Recently my ISP (a major mobile operator in Europe) decided to change the billing period from "monthly" (on a fixed month day) to "every 4 weeks" (usually the period is shorter than a month so in the end we have 13 billing periods per year) therefore it seems impossible to keep track of the traffic usage leveraging the standard Hotspot monitoring tool.

 

Is any update to the firmware planned or any workaround available (besides looking directly to data provided by the IPS)?

 

Thanks in advance.

    Hello xtv

     

    I have no heard of any update planned to change this and I do not see a workaround seems checking your ISP data usage is the only way.

      Hi Darren,

      Thank you very much for the answer.

       

       

      Is there an API on the AC available to access traffic information (e.g. in JSON format) and issue commands (e.g. to reset billing period)?
