Systems and methods for controlling user data consumption

A method for wireless communications, comprising:

• provisioning data credits for a connection between a device and a communication network on-board a vehicle;
• determining that a first amount of data consumed by the device via the connection prior to a first time is less than the data credits provisioned to the connection prior to the first time by at least a threshold amount;
• and
• suspending, based at least in part on the determining, provisioning of additional data credits to the connection until after a difference between a second amount of data consumed by the device and the data credits provisioned to the connection prior to the first time is less than the threshold amount.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• provision data credits for a connection between a device and a communication network on-board a vehicle;
• determine that a first amount of data consumed by the device via the connection prior to a first time is less than the data credits provisioned to the connection prior to the first time by at least a threshold amount;
• and
• suspend, based at least in part on the determining, provisioning of additional data credits to the connection until after a difference between a second amount of data consumed by the device and the data credits provisioned to the connection prior to the first time is less than the threshold amount.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to:

• provision data credits for a connection between a device and a communication network on-board a vehicle;
• determine that a first amount of data consumed by the device via the connection prior to a first time is less than the data credits provisioned to the connection prior to the first time by at least a threshold amount;
• and
• suspend, based at least in part on the determining, provisioning of additional data credits to the connection until after a difference between a second amount of data consumed by the device and the data credits provisioned to the connection prior to the first time is less than the threshold amount.
