That's the underlying issue: your system isn't detecting a new day. The current system date is compared against that dsts.ini "Date" value and if the current date is different, resets stats (and runs the fixed events you have configured in SCFG to run as specified date intervals). This is done for each terminal sever logon (for non Q-restricted accounts) and periodically in the terminal server "event thread".

As a result, you should see log messages like this (where the event thread detected the new date):

BBS Events New Day - Prev: Fri Aug 15 2025 12:00 am
BBS Events New Day and Week - Prev: Sat Aug 16 2025 12:00 am

If the event thread isn't running or is busy running an event, but a new terminal server logon occurs after a date change, you should see a similar log message in the terminal server's log otuput.

The only things that would prevent this "rollover" from happening (and that dsts.ini "Date" value being update to reflect the current date/time) are issues reading the dsts.ini file (which should be logged accordingly) or reading the current system date/time from the system clock.

So the next step is check what in the log output of your event thread (e.g. data/events.log in most recent builds of sbbs), the terminal server, and your data/error.log file for clues.
