Description
Triggers a policy that is evaluated based on the comparison between the timestamp value of the specified state variable and the current billing cycle. If time-zone information is available from the user equipment, time can be calculated from either the MPE device or the user equipment's location.
Note: The quota reset date may vary from the billing cycle end date. If the quota reset cycle is set to more than 1 month, the NextResetTime could be set to a date other than the current billing cycle end date. The billing cycle end date is calculated from the monthly billing cycle.
Note: When the user local time context is in effect, the MPE device ends the billing cycle or resets the quota based on the user local time. If user equipment enters a different time zone near the end of a billing cycle, the subscriber may find that the billing cycle ended earlier than expected, or the service provider may find that the billing cycle ended later than expected.
