This is sort of what I was thinking:

record(bo,"$(P)click"){
    field(DESC,"button being clicked")
    field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
    field(FLNK,"$(P)click_cnt")}

record(calc,"$(P)click_cnt"){
    field(DESC,"count clicks")
    field(INPA,"$(P)rst_cnt")
    field(CALC,"A?0:VAL+1")
    field(PINI,"YES")}

record(stringout,"$(P)reset_time"){
    field(DESC,"hour:min to rst cnter")
    field(DTYP,"Soft Channel")
    field(VAL,"23:59")
    field(PINI,"YES")}

record(stringin,"$(P)curr_time"){
    field(DESC,"Current time")
    field(DTYP,"Soft Timestamp")
    field(INP,"@%H:%M")
    field(SCAN,"10 second")
    field(PINI,"YES")}

record(scalcout,"$(P)rst_cnt"){
    field(DESC,"Reset the counter")
    field(INAA,"$(P)curr_time CP")
    field(INBB,"$(P)reset_time CP")
    field(CALC,"AA=BB?1:0")}

Diego, would your idea allow me to aggregate the counter per day (or other period)?

Hi Daniel,
you could forward link to a scalcout record that increments a counter and gets the time from a stringout record with DTYP "Soft Timestamp".

I have something that needs to be reset on a daily basis and use a
cron job that runs cau with an input file.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works.
