What is a Soft Data Quota?

Body

Overview


A soft data quota refers to a limit on data usage that can be exceeded without incurring significant consequences, such as additional charges or termination of service. The term "soft" implies that the quota is flexible or not strictly enforced, whereas a "hard" quota is a strict limit that cannot be exceeded. A soft data quota is often used by service providers to manage network congestion and ensure a fair distribution of resources among customers.
