You're reaching your data limit - except I'm not?

[Windows Central Question]

You're reaching your data limit - except I'm not.

I have a Windows 10 Lumia 950 in standard mode. I've had this month it telling me that I'm reaching my data limit (2GB) except the phone reports 700MB used and my provider is telling me 850MB used.

Wifi is approching 7.5GB - that's uncapped at home though...

Does anyone else often get the "You're reaching your data limit" warning in error?

With thanks

Yes, I had the same issue... I've turned off the data limit option because it was really annoying...

the only time I ran into this issue is when the reset date was not right.

Yep - I started seeing the same; I've set the limit to 2GB, but was getting warnings as soon as I hit 500MB used!

In the end, I thought I'd try bumping the limit to 3GB and see what happens (i.e. if there's a 1.5GB "low threshold" then that would probably work for me).

Data usage is not counting correctly...as I've read somewhere else its a known bug.but for warnings I don't know..i only get from my provider and if I want to buy more

Not sure if this affected anyone else, but I had data sense enabled and didn't have any issues with it-- until I took a cross-country flight. Out of nowhere it was sending toast after toast telling me I was over the data limit. I checked my carrier-- wasn't even close. So I turned it off.

Maybe my experience will help a troubleshooter.

Now I get warnings for reaching limit...lets see when they decide to fix it

I can concur. Starting getting these the other day as well.

I'm getting the opposite. Won't reset and says I already used 2.74GB of data the day my data reset.
