Abstract
Embodiments provide interactive prediction of network data consumption. Current data usage statistics are compared with a data usage plan. The current data usage statistics represent network data consumed by at least one computing device of the user. The network data is consumed during at least a portion of a pre-defined time interval of a data usage plan. For the given time interval, one of a plurality of pre-defined data usage states is assigned to the user, such as On Track, Off Track, Over Limit, and Under Track. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the data usage pattern to dynamically adjust for expected future use, which may change the currently assigned data usage state.
