What you are asking for is Quota management, not bandwidth management.

Squid does not do quotas easily yet.

Delay pools, are designed to delay things. As in set per-second
bandwidth rates to distinct groups (aka pools) of requests.

If you wish to limit each user to a connection speed of 216bps over the
entire day. Or 432bps over half the day. That is what delay pools can
help with.
