[Freeswitch-users] Current timestamp variable in dialplan?

[Brian West]

Are you trying to do something like billing? If so using variables or
anything getvar related will result in pool swell.

Billing is out of band, or inband with things like nibble bill, which is
just an implementation of a core idea of being able to nibble from a
balance using the session heartbeats.
