Expiry Dates
Expiry Date Scheduler
The Expiry Dates section gives you precise, per-subscriber control over session timeouts. When you set an expiry date here, the system calculates the exact remaining seconds and writes a
Session-Timeout to RADIUS — so RouterOS enforces the cutoff to the second, regardless of when the client last reconnected.1
Assign an expiry date
Go to Expiry Dates → click Add. Select the subscriber and pick a date and time. The system immediately writes the remaining duration as
Session-Timeout into the RADIUS radreply table.2
Update an existing expiry
Click the edit icon next to any subscriber in the list. Change the date/time and save. The RADIUS
Session-Timeout is recalculated and updated immediately.3
Remove an expiry
Click the delete icon to remove the expiry. This clears the
Session-Timeout from RADIUS, meaning the subscriber's session will no longer have a time limit (they are only limited by their plan's account expiry, if set).4
Bulk remove
Tick multiple subscribers and click Remove Selected to clear their expiry dates in bulk.
Expiry Dates vs User Expiry: Editing a subscriber's expiry date directly on their profile page also updates their plan expiry. The Expiry Dates section is specifically for managing the RADIUS
Session-Timeout — use it when you need to control the exact session cut-off time independently of the plan duration.
