Set a quota alert for a data transfer plan
Set a quota alert for a Shared data transfer plan so that the system notifies you by text message and email when the remaining quota of the Shared data transfer plan reaches the specified threshold.
Background
Quota alerts notify you when the remaining data in a Shared data transfer plan drops to a set percentage. This helps you purchase a new Shared data transfer plan before the current one is exhausted, avoiding higher on-demand data charges from Shared data transfer plan depletion.
By default, an alert is sent when usage of a Shared data transfer plan reaches 80%. You can customize the threshold. For example, for a 10 GB plan with the threshold set to 10%, the system sends an alert when the remaining quota of the Shared data transfer plan drops to 1 GB.
Alerts may be delayed. Bills reflect actual usage. Purchase new data transfer plans in advance based on your usage.
