Centipid normally manages expiries through package durations and automated schedulers. Use the Expiry Dates page when you need finer control—pausing a delinquent PPPoE account, giving a temporary extension, or aligning billing cycles with manual invoices.

​
Open the page

  1. Click Users → Expiry Dates in the sidebar.
  2. The badge shows how many active schedulers exist.
  3. Each row represents one user and the exact timestamp when their account will be disabled.
Expiry Dates table overview

​
Create a scheduler

  1. Click Create Expiry Date.
  2. Search for the User. Centipid hides admins, referrers, and marketers so you only schedule customer accounts.
  3. Pick the Expiry Date (date + time). This is when Centipid will disconnect the user and mark their session as expired.
  4. (PPPoE only) Add a Grace Period in days if you want to give them extra time after the expiry runs.
  5. Save. The entry appears in the table and Centipid pushes the terminate time to MikroTik plus the local database.

​
Table columns

  • User – links to the subscriber profile for quick context.
  • Expiry Date – exact timestamp the scheduler will fire.
  • Grace Period – number of days after expiry before the user is throttled/blocked (PPPoE only).
  • Created On / Updated On – hidden by default but available when auditing.

​
Manage existing schedulers

  • Edit – adjust the expiry timestamp or grace period. Centipid refreshes the MikroTik scheduler and the cached count automatically.
  • Delete – removes the scheduler, deletes the WISPr-Session-Terminate-Time attribute, and lets the user stay online until their package expires naturally.
  • Bulk Delete – admins can select multiple rows to clean up old schedulers at once.

​
Tips

  • Use the Without Expiry tab on the Active Users page to find subscribers who still need an expiry date, then jump here to add one.
  • When invoicing business clients manually, create a scheduler that aligns with the invoice due date. If they pay early, edit the record and push the expiry out instead of recreating it.
  • Grace periods are ideal for PPPoE customers who owe for a few days but you still want to nudge before suspending service.
