Hello Alexey,

Well, yes, it would work :) But it means every day you
would have to remove & re-add your rules, because when the quota is
reached, it won't be reseted the next day automatically. Besides
a quota per hour/sec or min match (modification of the quota match)
would be a lot more elegant don't you think ? It's impressive
to see what people can come up with when you give them a hammer ;-)

Have a nice day,

Fabrice.
