Data Usage (Mea culpa)
The warning is based on the old method, basically saying that you have used enough so far this month, that unless you cut back some, you will be out of data before the end of the month. For instance, if you are allowed 10GB, and a month had only 10 days, on day 5, if you are at 5.1GB used, you would get the warning, but on day 6, if you are at 5.9GB used, the warning will go away as you fall back into expected usage for that time period.

I had sort of figured that, what with approximately 50% of the data gone but only one third of the month past. I was hoping for some way to tell how close, or far, from triggering a warning I was, like the old meter. This one takes more ciphering if I want to download a program that could trigger a warning. Otherwise it's a matter of using less data early so it will be there later. Is this a common complaint or is it just me? I'll accept that as the solution, like it or not. Thanks a lot.
