Quota reset

[kwilczek]

Dear CUPS Team,

I know that there is a quota system (https://www.cups.org/doc/accounting.html), but I'm unable to figure out how to reset the quota. Could someone shed some light on this and update the documentation?

We have a really simple use case:

• set a limit for N pages on the P printer for the period of T seconds,
• after the T period, reset the quota -- set the same limit N for the same period T again.

Is it possible with the current quota implementation? I tried setting the quota and period to 0, etc. but nothing works. After setting the limit again, I get the info that my quota has already exhausted -- which means that the previous limit is still in use.
And, are there any alive 3rd party quota solutions that you know of? I think that the pykota is EOL and I really can't find anything that is in wider use.

Kind regards,
