Hello,
First of all I want to thank you devs for NetWorx, it is the best software in this category I used and I tried all of them.
I have a monthly cap of 5GB (upload+download) and I wanted to make sure I use only a 1/30 part of it every 24 hrs. I tried to set up Notifications the following way: Received and Sent more | than 170 MB | within 24hrs | All traffic (I don't have on/off peaks).
The thing is, it doesn't work. I very easily get past this limit and nothing happens, I tried the visual alert, the sound alert, even the shutting down option. What's strange is that if I set the Quota for 170MB/24 hrs those alerts appear. But I wanted not to get there, as my quota is still 5GB/month and I want to register that.
Am I missing something? Any suggestion is welcomed and thank you again for reading this.

Use two instances of Networx. At least one instance must be a 'portable' version.
Instance 1 uses Quota = 5GB per month (5120MB).
Warn if more than 95% used month-to-date.
This also suggests the daily limit for the remaining days in your month.
Instance 2 uses Quota = 170MB per calendar day (assuming a 30 day month, but this could be 28, 29, 30 or 31 days).
Warn if more than 95% used for current calendar day.
This also suggests the hourly limit for the remaining hours in your day.
The Quota warning pops up on your screen.

Notifications would not do exactly what you want because they are based on, in your example, the last 24 hours, a period which overlaps two calendar dates (unless the time of day is midnight).
