Customer-defined capacity limit plans for communication networks

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable in at least one computing device, wherein when executed the instructions cause the at least one computing device to at least:

• provide a service from a network function set of a plurality of network functions in a radio-based network to a first client device and denying the service to a second client device in response to at least one network function in the network function set being at a client device capacity limit according to at least one rule defined by a customer that establishes a priority of the first client device over the second client device, the client device capacity limit being an absolute capacity limit for the service beyond which the service cannot be provided to additional client devices, the radio-based network being operated by a cloud provider network on behalf of the customer;
• and
• configure the network function set in the radio-based network to implement the at least one rule defined by the customer instead of a default rule for handling the absolute capacity limit.
