Show usage data

Binary package hint: network-manager

There are many data-limited plans in use. It is typical that a 3g connection has a data limit (like 10 GB per month). It would be useful if NM would record monthly usage in every interface / network combination so that the user is aware of how many GB they have left, maybe even with optional features like disconnecting after the cap is exceeded to avoid extra charges.

I fully support this request.

PS
Smaller data limits of 500MB and 1 GB per month are far more prevalent even than the more generous 10GB mentioned by Ismael. This merely adds urgency to the request.

Any progress on this?

It has long become an indispensible standard feature on smartphones.

I can't quite see why keeping track of one's mobile data usage and limit is important on a smartphone but not on one's laptop which uses the same 3G or 4G mobile account for internet connectivity.
