Each SIM in our system has a usage limit that, when reached, blocks it from using any more data for the specified period. The limit is set in bytes and is mandatory for all SIMs. The default usage limit is: 10GB per month.
You can also set an alert threshold that doesn't block usage but still alerts you.
Hitting the alert threshold or usage limit will send out a notification via Webhooks, if an appropriate Webhook has been set up. You can see how to set up a Webhook here.
Here's an example of what the event will look like:
{
"type": "usage-alert",
"reason": "alert-threshold",
"time": "2021-12-01T10:08:36.530Z",
"sim_id": "000000001",
"iccid": "89457387300000000105",
"ipv4": "100.96.0.1",
"data_limit": {
"used": 1101976,
"total": 2000000,
"type": "monthly",
"period": "202112",
"alert_threshold": 1000000,
"resets_at": "2022-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
},
"sim_label": "foobar"
}
The "reason" field will either contain the string "blocked" or "alert-threshold" depending on if it was the usage limit that was reached or the alert threshold respectively.
The data limit parameters can be seen in the sidebar on the SIM page, and can be edited by clicking the 'edit' icon.
