I don't agree with disabling your data limiter especially when it comes to data add ons. Public mobile sends out data usage texts at 75% and 95% of usage of all of the data on your account. (These texts also occasionally get sent out in error so check your self serve account and use the little refresher arrows for up to date usage.) Depending on the amount of plan data on your account relying on these texts to monitor your data usage can be costly.....if you have a larger portion of add on data vs plan data since generally add on data is more expensive and also rolls over every 30 days.
Your add on data may have come from several possible sources. You may have purchased it ($15/1gb). Redeemed points for it (10pts/1gb). It could have been a promotion from activation or a holiday gift from the "more is merrier" campaign or even showed up on your account as a surprise "mystery" gift after having your account suspended for up to 89/90 days.
How you choose to use it is up to you but if you are a low data user with the $15 plan for example and intend to supplement your plan data (250mb) then making use of your data warning and data limiter to manage your usage and only use the add on data when you really need it then ensuring that you get a data usage warning and/or the data limiter kicks in to stop your mobile data from being used when you don't realize it is very important.
Disconnecting from WiFi accidentally or app with video content like tiktok or Instagram running in the background or a software update can quickly consume all of your available mobile data before you ever know it or before you hit 75% when pm sends a usage text that can quickly be followed by the 95% usage texts.
I have the $15 plan with 250mb of data. I also have 20+gb of add on data on the account. I cannot rely on pm's data usage texts and have thankfully never recieved one. I usually set my data warning at 125mb and my data limiter at 200mb. That leaves with another 50mb of plan data to use if my data limiter stops my data. When I hit 250mb I can make the decision of how much add on data I want to possibly use until renewal.
Normally I increase my data limiter usage by 100mb segments resetting it to 350mb and so on....this allows me to be conservative with my data usage and avoid a costly mistake. A 75% data usage warning would mean I have used more than 15gb of data. At $15/1gb that would be over $225 of data add ons used...a very pricey lesson to be learned indeed.
Make sure you 30 day cycle matches the calendar dates for your usage cycle in your phone's data tracker. Depending on where you live in Canada it can be off by a few hours......in bc our 30 day cycle renews at 9pm pacific but our phones data tracker will reset 3 hours later at midnight. Avoiding mobile data usage during those 3 hours keeps my phone's data tracker much more accurate.
