I am considering purchasing the GL-X750. But is there a way in the interface or app to limit the data consumption per device per day?
I will have a data plan (e.g. 15Gif per month) and two young kids using the internet via 4G, but I want to allocate certain daily limits to them (e.g. 2 Gig per day) to prevent me from using more data than I have in my data plan.
Are there settings that allow me to do this?
Such a feature isn’t available, unfortunately.
There might be possibilities to script it yourself, but this will require manual afford.

Ah, I see. It’s a pity that the manufacturer isn’t offering something out of the box, especially since data consumption is always a challenge with Mobile data plans.
I will have a look at the references that you provided, but I’m an old geezer, so programming is not really my thing …
My application is for using a Starlink 50GB offshore data plan on a sailboat.
I want to be able to allocate say 5GB each to several crew members for offshore passages.
I know from experience that without data quotas, someone will forget or not be able to disable updates or something and suck down the whole data allocation. With the new Starlink plans, you have to pay another $250 or something to get additional data.
So this function is badly needed. Is this now possible via GoodCloud, or some other way?
