For time-based limits, sure, we can (and do) send an Expiration: 
attribute to the NAS.

But a user might reach a data-base limit at any time.  We could have 
Freeside process RADIUS interim accounting packets and trigger a NAS 
disconnect (trigger a RADIUS "packet of death" from FreeRADIUS, or run 
some other configurable hook).

I wouldn't say that it is something we're uninterested in umplementing 
or that something else is "supposed" to be doing.  :)
