Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My data plan runs for 28 days (4 weeks). This is a common range here, unfortunately it's not covered by the app.

I found open and closed issues that deal with data plan periods, but none of them seem to request 'x days' periods.

Describe the solution you'd like

Independent from the 'nth of month' or month generally it would be good to have an exact start date like '2022-11-25' and an amount of weeks (like '4') or days (like '28') that defines the plan period.

You can add a custom data plan for x number of days.

You mean like in the next update? Or did I miss a setting?

The current version (2.1.0) only allows a custom period where you set a Start date (like the 7th of the month) and an end date (like the 25th of the same month). What I was referring to is a plan that starts e.g. tomorrow (Nov 16th) and runs 28 days (to Dec 14th). There's no way to set that period. And after that 4 week period the next 28 days end on Jan 11.

You're right, currently you can only set a plan that starts and ends in the current month. Will update the custom plan to be more versatile in the next build.

While at it, kindly also consider a custom plan whose duration is more than a month. Right now, the app only seems to be allowing start and end dates within a month. In India, some providers provide plans that run for 28, 56 and 84 days. So, it would be very helpful to be able to specify such a data plan using the app 🙂

Thanks for your update, but I'm afraid we've misunderstood each other.

I just installed the new v2.20. Now there's a custom data plan that allows start and end dates in different months. That's fine, but that still doesn't cover plans that run x days.

My data plan runs 4 weeks, that's 28 days. It started on 14.12.2022 and runs until 11.01.2023. With your last change, I can map this period; but only once, not for the following periods. So in January I have to manually configure the period again for 28 days, this time from 12.01.2023 to 09.02.2023. And so on, every 28 days.

What I meant was having just an option of setting a start date and an amount of days. So just one setup would cover the plan forever.

For now, you've to manually set the data plan each time. The option to auto repeat the data plan is not fully functional yet and is still under development.

@Przbl Yeah, I also have the same data plan which expires after 28 days and I need to renew it again. It would be great for something like this to be set up, also with notifications when then plan is about to expire.
