Set throughput limit on data cap

Recently had a request come in for a large deployment where the end-user company would like to be able to set a 10GB data cap on the cellular WAN per location/Peplink and be able to limit throughput to 1 Mbps once the data cap has been reached.

Does anyone know if that is possible today via IC2 and/or device settings?

If not, adding this to the feature requests as I can see some organizations finding value in it.

This feature is not available yet. But we will add this feature soon. The firmware changes are under development. Stay tuned.

Will it be available for any WAN not just cellular because that would be useful.

Yep, this would become very handy if using Starlink with a smaller priority data pool as a way to soft cap how much overage someone might hit, or dropping that link down in priority once the cap had been reached.

We have discussion on this and see this could be useful. However, we would target for Starlink and Cellular first. :sweat_smile:

@Michael I know it’s only been a couple of weeks but wanted to check in and see if you may have any updates on this feature request. Asking for a friend (Partner). :slight_smile:

this will be very useful as now both Starlink and Cellular charged by data volume, it will be very helpful if we have an easy way to monitor data usage and say throttle down when usage is high.

We are still working on it. Should be out sometime next week. I will write here when it is out.

just checking to see if this has been released yet, Thanks

I wanted to add to @MartinLangmaid comments that we would need this available in the local ui for all wan types, wan, wifi-as-wan, usb, vwan, cellular.
Often we connect multiple devices that have a reason to limit data usage, could be a client’s existing cellular (potentially not a peplink), a starlink , a block of data purchased from a location limited to a bucket of data.
