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.
