# Setting Up FUP (Fair Usage)

With a **Fair Usage Policy (FUP)**, users who use up their traffic quota are not cut off. They continue at a lower speed until their next renewal (or until the next day, for daily limits).

## Example: 20 Mbps with 100 GB per month, then 4 Mbps

### 1. Create the FUP profile

<table id="bkmrk-fieldvalue-profile-n"><thead><tr><th>Field</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Profile Name</td><td>20M-FUP</td></tr><tr><td>Type</td><td>Fair Usage Policy (FUP)</td></tr><tr><td>Limit Expiration</td><td>OFF</td></tr><tr><td>Download / Upload Rate</td><td>4096 / 1024</td></tr><tr><td>Traffic limits</td><td>All OFF</td></tr></tbody></table>

### 2. Set up the main package

<table id="bkmrk-fieldvalue-profile-n-1"><thead><tr><th>Field</th><th>Value</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Profile Name</td><td>20M-100GB</td></tr><tr><td>Type</td><td>Prepaid</td></tr><tr><td>Download / Upload Rate</td><td>20480 / 5120</td></tr><tr><td>Limit Expiration</td><td>ON, 1 month(s)</td></tr><tr><td>Limit Traffic</td><td>ON, Traffic Limit 102400 MB (100 GB)</td></tr><tr><td>Quota Next Profile</td><td>20M-FUP</td></tr></tbody></table>

### 3. What happens

- When the user has used 100 GB, SAS Radius disconnects the user, and at the next connection the user gets the 4 Mbps speed of **20M-FUP**.
- At the next activation the user gets a new 100 GB quota and the full speed again.
- Without a Quota Next Profile, a user who uses up the quota can't connect until renewed.

## Daily limits

To limit daily usage (for example 10 GB per day), set **Daily Traffic Limit** to 10240 MB and **Daily Limit Next Profile** to an FUP profile. The user gets the reduced speed for the rest of the day; the daily counters reset at midnight.

Daily usage can also be reset with **Reset Traffic** on the user's Overview, or with an extension that has *Resets Daily Traffic* ON.

## Tips

- Keep traffic limits **OFF** on the FUP profile itself, and use one FUP level per package.
- Extra traffic can be sold with an extension package (see [Extension Packages](https://help.snono-systems.com/books/sas-radius/page/extension-packages)) or added with *Add Traffic*.
- Warn users before they reach the limit with [Usage Notifications](https://help.snono-systems.com/books/sas-radius/page/usage-notifications).
