Hi gabriel and everyone who voted for cost alerting.
I have a great update on your request. We are currently beta testing new functionality providing email alerts on data usage thresholds.
It is planned to be released on September-October. In case you are curious to be enabled already now to use it, please leave your comment here.
We are able to provide you early access to this functionality and may later contact you to get early feedback about it.

Hi gabriel,
I would like to follow up on your request as I am planning to work on some new alerts/events. A notification on reaching a cost limit is a possible feature. Would you be available for a chat to discuss your use case?
Best regards,
Viktoria

Dear gabriel, thank you for the trust you bestow upon us. I wanted to understand the what actions do you plan to take after you receive an alert for the data being exceeded?

Vinita Katti: We would like to be able to transmit the alert on a slack or teams channel, etc.. For example, with a bad configuration on one of our devices, it started using too much data last month. We noticed that with the extra package on the bill. We would like to be able to react faster with the help of setting up cost alerts, without limiting data at the device level.

Thank you gabriel for the context and the clarification. Cost alert will be an interesting feature addition but, constraining the budget/ managing consumption can also be achieved by using Quota management or Constraint options in the Device Policy section as well.

Vinita Katti: Thank you for your response. I think these are two very different features. We do not want to limit the data at the device level, but to receive an alert to react in the event of data being exceeded. The data collected by our device is very important and we do not want to stop it with a Quota, but rather receive an alert in case of exceeding quotas quite simply.

Dear Gabriel,
Thank you for reaching out. Can you provide us more details relating to the "cost alerting" to get a better understanding of the request?

Vinita Katti: We would like to be able to manage alerts on current consumption / price. Indeed, last month we discovered an extra charge of 150euros on our monthly bill. We would like to be able to configure alerts (mail, slack, teams, etc.) which would be triggered according to defined thresholds in order to act before reaching an out of package.
