Add a data limit to trial hotspot users
This script comes from the final slide of my recent MUM presentation on RouterOS scripting
It allows you to assign a data limit to trial hotspot users and:
a) have them kicked offline upon reaching this limit
b) create a temporary user to stop them from being able to log back in again
This is a feature which is not available via the current hotspot settings, so I decided to script it into existence. Enjoy!

MikroTik forum adds bug reporting
I don’t know if the followup is intended to be to the submitter via email or a reply in the forum thread however it seems a good idea to allow quick submission of confirmed issues.
Can’t see any official post on the forum noting when it came about, but if you have any experience using this already; feel free to comment below.

I found this to be a very interesting read/listen (depending on your language you may want to enable the subtitles) to some of the history of MikroTik
Also if you follow the video you’ll find the official MikroTik YouTube channel.
