Is there a way to make time-based traffic shaper policies? Example. During working hours, I would use a limit for each ip of xx Mb. In the evening, this may / should be removed or increased by many Mb.

I want to stay away from two common traffic policies, which may be based on time.

Why? Having two policies with different shape is what and how you would do this is.How would you expect a new TS to take place if you didn't have a policy with TimeOfDay schedule set?

The other thing you can do is set one or the other level as baseline, and then a specific TOD policy higher in the chain. I have a "Work Hours" schedule set from 8am-noon and 1-5pm that tightens down web filtering, but then off-hours and during lunch break the fw is more open, with the default policy being the more open. Seems to work well.
