For a monthly quota, total connect time is zeroed at the start of the billing period and the process is repeated. Unused quota is not rolled over to the next month. For a yearly quota, total connect time is zeroed on 15 th March. The annual quota is perpetual theoretically, although the standard renewal process will apply. An account can not have both monthly and a yearly quota applied.
Notification allows the department to monitor the usage and the user to be aware of the limits.
When locking is enabled and the set quota reached the account is locked and user cannot access the dial-in service and therefore can not incur further charges. Therefore, departments can expect to be billed only up to the quota limit in the case when locking is enabled. The account is automatically un-locked when the total connect time is zeroed. Hence, for a monthly quota an account is locked until the start of the next billing period and for a yearly quota is locked until 15 th of March. Requests to delete or suspend an account can be made by submitting an ID3 form .
