Using hotspot and user manager with RB912 LTE modem kit (routerOS and UM v6.42.1) for small remote schools in a developing country. I want to give teachers a 1GB traffic (transfer) limit and then the admin will refresh their accounts manually when they use up their quotas.
The hotspot is working fine and I can limit successfully in other ways, such as rate limits. But I can get the traffic limitation to work and don’t understnad what to expect.
I created a 100MB profile to test. Created a 100MB limitation (adding 100M to transfer and leaving everything else as default). When added to the profile this states transfer limit 100.0MiB and there is no other constraint. I created a new user and added the 100MB profile. Activated it and then logged in with the user and set it downloading. However, it happily continues past 100MB. I tried doing it in multiple sessions but it still doesn’t limit at 100MB.
What should I expect? Does it allow traffic unlimited in the session but then disable the user for subsequent login?
There is very little advice available in the mikrotik wiki on this and we would appreciate some tips on this frustrating issues!!! I guess I must have missed something… thanks
