download limit

Data usage boundary

A download limit is a cap on how much data you can transfer from the internet within a set period, typically imposed by internet service providers or file-hosting sites.

Exceeding the limit may trigger throttled speeds, extra charges, or blocked access: I hit my download limit halfway through the month.

Some services impose daily or monthly limits; others cap individual file sizes.
