Manners of controlling a data rate for a user equipment (UE) on a per slice basis by either a core network or a radio access network (RAN). In one exemplary manner, a request is received to establish a new Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session for a network slice for a user equipment (UE), a maximum session throughput value is received for the new PDU session, the maximum session throughput value for the new PDU session is added to an accumulated maximum session throughput value to determine an updated accumulated maximum session throughput value, the updated accumulated maximum session throughput value is compared to a maximum slice throughput value and, when the updated accumulated maximum session throughput value exceeds the maximum slice throughput value, an action is performed related to the new PDU session.
