What determines when the %v (event) counter resets?

Question

I'm having issues where the event counter is being reset. I can't figure out what determines when the counter is reset -- ideally (for my uses) it would increment until midnight, then reset at the new day. However, this is not the case for me. I rotate images out of the target_dir using the on_event_end directive, so that could be the cause. However, this is less than ideal. In my verbatim field, images are named like this: % Y % m%d-%t-%v- % H % M%S-%q . As you can see, an event occurred at 11:56 am, and was assigned event id 01. Another event occurred at 13:26, and was also assigned event ID of 01. How can this be prevented? I would very much prefer to rotate images out of my target_dir as soon as as the event ends, since I do things with them.
