Is there a way to time schedule the bandwith limits for syncthing if I use it under windows 11? The Idea is to have more bandwidth available during the day for other applications, while it could work during the night with full bandwidth. I´ve seen that I may could start and stop the service and replace the config-file inbetween, but that´s not a really good solution as this would result into a complete re-read of everything. Any other Idea?
I would look for a way to impose this from the OS, the firewall, or a third-party tool.
Possibly the easiest way for your case would be to use a Group Policy command line (I found an example at Way to limit bandwidth of programs on Windows? - Super User) and Task Scheduler to change the QoS policy on the schedule of your choosing.
There is also Syncthing’s command line interface for changing configuration options on the fly. That could be automated from a scheduled task, without stopping the service in between.
