Description Darius Mažeika 2009-11-30 13:28:12 UTC 
It would be very nice to have support for transfered data amount quota/limit in NetworkManager.

1. Counter per configured connection, persisting between computer restart, suspend, shutdown, interface activation and deactivation.

2. Interface to specify quota. When quota is soon to be reached (let's say, 95%), an optional notification could be shown (an icon in traybar, maybe?). When limit is reached, NM should optionally automatically disconnect the connection and show a message

3. Interface to view collected data and set/reset counters.

It is possible to extend this wish list, but these functions would cover most roaming user's with limited network connection needs.

Yup!  Some thoughts on this already covered in bug #588870.
