/usr/data/quotas, This path only saves data for recovery، but it is not the actual data, if you change the value nothing changes.

It's loaded into kernel memory for run time.
If you want to alter the value you should use

backup_quotas
Alter the number in /usr/data/quotas
restore_quotas

3 years you've been mucking around with quotas. What are you trying to achieve, and are you any closer to doing so?

I am busy with my work and I use Gargoyle just to divide the internet between my family in home, and every now and then I need some things to do with my router, so I come here.

Thank you for answering my question.

How to alter the number in quota ? I am not very familiar with SSH commands.

I'm in the same boat as a relative newcomer to command line. when I call restore_quotas I get "ERRROR WAN not defined". I can scp individual quotas to and from my computer to change the values, but then stuck on how to get them into kernel memory.

Doing a little googling gets me to the gargoyle_firewall_util.sh code, and I see the initialize_quotas section, but I'm definitely not qualified to understand what's going on in the code.
