Custom billing schedule

My telco bills me every 28 days rather than every month. Can we set a recurrence rule?

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! If I understand correctly, you’d like Logger to support a custom 28-day billing cycle, so your usage stats match how your telco charges you.

For now, you can achieve something similar using Logger’s filter option by manually selecting the start and end date of your billing cycle. I know it’s a bit inconvenient, but you can save a filter preset to make it quicker each time (though you’ll need to update the preset manually every cycle, as Logger currently doesn’t auto-shift it to the next period).

I can’t think of a better solution right now, but feel free to drop a comment if you feel there could be a better approach to this—maybe even a new feature in Logger v3.

Precisely.

And auto-roll-over would definitely be very convenient.

@bb1a2 Thanks a ton for sharing your suggestions and the resources you mentioned—I took a look at them, and it actually sparked an idea for Logger.

I’m considering adding a new "Cycle" range type in the filtering options. With this, you’d just need to set the start date and no of days of your billing cycle, and Logger would automatically calculate the start and end dates for each cycle. This should make it much easier to track your usage without having to manually update presets every time—a win-win solution!

Really appreciate your input—it’s feedback like this that helps shape the future of Logger. 🙌

I think that is a very good idea. Thanks for being receptive.
