So you want to give one set of max speed during hours A to B (eg peak), and a different set of max speed during hours B to A (eg offpeak) ?
If so, no you cant do it automatically from the cm config file.
Your options include things like :
1) have peak.cm config file for peak time, and offpeak.cm config file for offpeak time. At each change of peak/offpeak, update the modem's client-class on the DHCP server and kick the modem offline.
2) look at the Cisco feature called "Subscriber Traffic Management" which allows some control of speed vs time
3) use a fancy box in front of the CMTS that can speak PCMM to the CMTS to auto adjust the modem's service flows without rebooting. I think Cisco Service Control Engine (SCE) is an example of this

3a use a service like openvault that does it for you using PCMM for a small monthly fee ~$.20 a sub depending on options.
Thanks guys! I'm going to review all the possibilites you wrote above!!!
