The export takes the temp/perm extends into consideration (which you
have set to 7 for each, which is 1+7+7 (15 days, so they stop working
on the 16th). You want to set the default expire to 0, default extend
to 0,
and the Default limit to 15 for your setup.

It finds out how many days are left in the month (lets assumed 23)
and then substracts the default expire (14) which gives 9. Therefore
9 days pro-rate.

Do you mean the radius expore file or the true ExpireDate?
