The present solution relates to an improved system and method for reducing traffic flow between the subscriber's device, network, and a charging system. The methods and systems described herein can provide a mediator (or buffer) between the network and the charging system. The mediator can be controlled independently of the charging system and for each client device on the network can run an instance of a quota cache. The charging system can provide the quota cache with a service quota that is allocated out as resource grans to the client device over a given period of time. The mediator can be configured to include a plurality of charging and reporting parameters, which determine how the mediator reports subscriber consumption back to the charging system. The mediator can receive the consumption updates from the client device and aggregate the consumption and report back to the charging system at predefined intervals.
