Xiaomi 17922Table of contents
Set Data Usage Limit
If we want to change the data limit set on the Xiaomi smartphone, for example because a tariff increase or change has taken place, we can do this at any time.






- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Tap on Data plan
- Tap on Peak data limit
- Enter the peak data limit and tap OK
Warning on lock screen (data usage)
We can choose to display a data usage warning on the lock screen of the Xiaomi device after a set limit is exceeded.
Note: In this guide we will enable the lock screen warning and set the data usage warning, these steps are for illustration purposes only and can be skipped/left out.





- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Tap on Data usage warning
- Enable or disable Show warnings on lock screen
Daily data limit
As with activating the general data limit, we can set a daily data usage limit, and then we will be warned daily if usage exceeds the limit. We can also set whether we want to be warned only by our Xiaomi smartphone, or whether we want to disable mobile data.





- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Tap on Data usage warning
- Enable or disable Daily data usage limit
Reset date for data usage
We can choose when to reset the date of our data limit, and the Xiaomi smartphone will set it to zero and start monitoring data usage again.







- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Tap on Data plan
- Tap on Usage reset date
- Set the Usage reset date
- Confirm with OK
Warning level of data usage
If we have set a maximum data limit, we can set the warning level to indicate the percentage of data usage above which we want to be warned by the Xiaomi device.
Note: We recommend a value of about 80% to have enough data volume available.







- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Tap on Data plan
- Tap on Data usage warning level
- Swipe left or right to set the data usage warning level
- Confirm with OK
When data plan is used up
If we have reached our data limit on the Xiaomi smartphone, the mobile data is switched off by default. Alternatively, when we reach our data limit, we can choose to receive only a warning notification.






- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Tap on Data plan
- Tap on When data plan is used up
- Choose Show warning or Warn and turn off mobile data
Turn on/off data usage
The data limit is a useful feature if we do not have an internet flat rate in the contract. After reaching the data limit the mobile data is deactivated by default. We can set our own data limit for this, but the function must be activated first. In the same way, the data limit can also be switched off.




- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Enable or disable Data usage
Data usage settings
We can enable the data usage warning on the Xiaomi smartphone to gain control over data usage, or we can disable the data usage settings completely and receive no further warnings.




- Open the Security app
- Open the Settings
- Tap on Data usage
- Enable or disable Data usage
