SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy counter not resetting after TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy rollover

Hello. Using log4j 2.20.0. My configuration file specifies a SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy and a TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy. My understanding is that when the log rolls due to the TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy, the counter associated with the SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy should reset to 1, but this isn't happening. It just keeps incrementing from where it left off. Here is my config file. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

<Configuration status="warn">
    <Properties>
        <Property name="basePath">Y:/logs</Property>
    </Properties>

    <Appenders>
        <RollingFile name="fileLogger"
                     filePattern="${basePath}/log_%d{yyyyMMdd}_%i.txt">
            <PatternLayout>
                <pattern>%d{MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss.SSS} %msg%n
                </pattern>
            </PatternLayout>
            <Policies>
                <SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10 MB"/>
                <TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy />
            </Policies>
            <DirectWriteRolloverStrategy maxFiles="10000"/>
        </RollingFile>
    </Appenders>
    <Loggers>
        <Root level="info" additivity="false">
            <appender-ref ref="fileLogger" />
        </Root>
    </Loggers>
</Configuration>

No, but I can look into it after 2.24.0 is released.
