It’s a bug and hopefully fixed in a new beta but the counter is only reset
when you increment the value.

BTW: The names for the counter commands are \...counter, e.g.

\definecounter[testcounter][way=bypage]

\define\TestCounter
   {\incrementcounter[testcounter]
   %\convertedcounter[testcounter]
    \rawcountervalue [testcounter]}

\starttext
\dorecurse{3}{\TestCounter\page}
\stoptext
