Limited access: Data usage alerts are a pull-only limited access feature available through the API, and are no longer supported.
Data usage alerts
Data usage alerts are triggered when a SIM’s usage crosses a threshold you define for the current billing cycle. Alerts do not block data; they are notifications only so you can take action before incurring additional charges, and are evaluated after a data session ends. For automated data usage enforcement, combine alerts with data usage limits to track usage, and then pause data when the limit is reached.Set a data usage alert for a single SIM
