Questions, answered
Will it upgrade my plan or spend money?
No. WebRun never buys, upgrades or tops up anything. It drafts the request in Gmail and leaves it unsent for you to review, so every purchase stays a deliberate human decision.
How far ahead does the warning come?
As soon as the burn rate says the allowance will not reach the end of the cycle. The WhatsApp message carries the projected run-out date and the days remaining, so you see a shortfall days ahead of an event.
Does it tell me what is using the allowance?
Yes. It names the live channels and videos driving the heaviest bandwidth and storage, so you can throttle or archive the real cause rather than guessing at the total.
