We can at least be glad that we have that 50 dollar cutoff thanks to the CRTC not the carriers. It was forced on the carriers via the wireless code. There are some members who have reported how they use a daily spreadsheet to monitor adapt and when to cut off use and almost never go over. Can't remember who it was but they had it down to a fine art.
Rogers is allowed to turn the cap off with our consent from us. Not sure why anyone would do that.
I agree the 12 delay does create a challenge in that last couple of days. I have always turned data off totally when I approached the limit and then only used it sparingly if at all to end of month. Went to doughnut shop or livrary.
If you have hit the cap of your plan 100% at midnight of last day and 12 hours before you have most likely gone over.
Only solution is cut way back knowing your typical daily use as soon as you hit say 80 to 90% depending on your usage patterns. They do warn us of the estimated delay in posted data usage but easy to get caught.
And the rocket plan is expensive and has little flexibility in limits.
Only suggestion is call in and see if there are options in packages or consider other providers.
Good luck with the challenges imposed by the nature of the limitations on our ability to monitor our accounts in real time.
