4.2. Stop Streaming

If you click this button, then you are choosing to not stream until the end of the month.

Streaming can take place again only after a successful payment of your previous usage (i.e. always at the end of the month because PPM is postpaid).

Warning 1 ❌ 🚫

If you try to update (increase or lower) the ‘Streaming cap’ selected initially, before the end of the month, the system will reject your request (check image below).

In this case, you can remove the capping to continue streaming.

Warning 2 ❌ 🚫

If you streamed (for example 400 minutes) and during the same month decided to apply the ‘Streaming Cap’.

You can ONLY set a higher cap. In this example, 500 minutes or more.

Now you are ready to apply the Streaming cap restriction !
